} An interesting idea, but it doesn't seem to do the same thing on my
} system:
} 
} 	$ e="gnuclient -q"
} 	$ echo $=e
} 	gnuclient -q
} 	$ alias e="$=e -h $HOMESYSTEM"
} 	$ type e
} 	e is an alias for gnuclient

Looks like a bug.  Try it with just $e rather than $=e ... using $=e was
a typo anyway; with the double quotes around it, it *should* have become
completely equivalent to just $e.  Instead, zsh seems to have broken the
entire quoted string into two words at the space in the value of $e.
