The most obvious is ${=:-one two three} which applies word splitting
to the string to the right of the hyphen.  Interestingly this even
works with quoting, where I had assumed it would break within words:

zsh% print -l ${=:-"one two" three\ four 'five six'}
one two
three four
five six

And you can combine it with rcexpandparam:

zsh% print -l X${^=:-"one two" three\ four 'five six'}Z
Xone twoZ
Xthree fourZ
Xfive sixZ
