 Yeah, it makes it look like that's the entire point.

See, now that's entirely clear and instantly understandable. Especially 
by juxtaposing the two,  one is left in no doubt. Formal knowledge 
becomes practical knowledge.

But:     "echo foo"     remains one word because it's quoted! Yes?

Anyway, as always a few simple examples make it understandable.

BTW, this hardly matters in practice but:


4 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 0 % print -rl "Hello World"
Hello World

4 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 0 % $chain1
"Hello World"

... can the quotes be omitted from the output?  I tried: " chain0=( 
${(Qz)1} )  "  but then it broke into two words again. Not important but 
if it can be done I'll take it.
