This introduces a bug with "$@", $@ and $* expansion:

$ Src/zsh -o SHFILEEXPANSION -c 'set "a" "b"; printf "[%s]\n" "$@$@"'
[a]
[b$@]

$ Src/zsh -o SHFILEEXPANSION -c 'set "a" "b"; printf "[%s]\n" $@$@'
[a]
[b$@]

$ zsh -o SHFILEEXPANSION -c 'set "a" "b"; printf "[%s]\n" $*$*'
zsh:1: no matches found: b$*

Expected output for all three:
[a]
[ba]
[b]

Thanks,
