} That can be made vaild syntax by a bit (?lot?) of trickery with reserved
} words, but what does it mean, and what gets passed to the command?

It means exactly the same thing that writing it now without the equal
sign and parens means; it's merely syntactic sugar so you don't have
to use backslash-continuation to spread it across multiple lines.

Whether it gets exploded out into an ordinary argv before being passed
to bin_zstyle, or comes in as some other structure that bin_zstyle
itself unpacks, is an implementation detail for module, I'd expect.

No matter, was just a thought I threw out.
