It's also special just after colon or equal when magicequalsubst is
set.

Z:akr@is27e1u11% Src/zsh -f
is27e1u11% echo :=echo
:=echo
is27e1u11% echo a==echo
a==echo
is27e1u11% setopt magicequalsubst
is27e1u11% echo :=echo
:/bin/echo
is27e1u11% echo a==echo
a=/bin/echo
is27e1u11% 

Maybe, `~' should be treated as `='?
