thanks for noticing. which leads me to open zshmisc(1) and read
read "ALTERNATE FORMS FOR COMPLEX COMMANDS". TIL that my coding
style is actually a mix of the alternative form and SHORT_LOOPS
and the difference is subtile:

	« The  short  versions  below only work if sublist is of the form `{
	list }' or if the SHORT_LOOPS option is set »
