Hi,
echo ${(<TAB> shows
...
# -- evaluate as numeric expression
...
zshexpn(1) says:
# Evaluate the resulting words as numeric expressions and output
the characters corresponding to the resulting integer.
I think the help text is missing the crucial bit here:
output the characters corresponding to the resulting integer.
Perhaps
"#:evaluate as numeric expression and interpret as character codes"
or so would be a better description.
Thanks,
