Although that function is a permanent black stain on my soul, before I
send others on wild goose chases I don't think it can be the culprit
here since I think it's *only* used for recursive quotes.  I'm now
wondering about get_comp_string() from line 1676 in zle_tricky.c,
including the grumpy comment I would guess is from me, since they usually
are, around line 1686.  However, I haven't gone into the nitty gritty.
