Hmm.  No, actually, I prefer it the way it is above.  If I change the
value of foo, seeing `eval $foo' doesn't tell me anything at all about
what's actually running.

In fact, I'd prefer it if the "eval" got stripped off so all that zsh
prints is `sleep 10'.  After all, "eval" is not a job; the thing that
was being eval'd is the job.
