Also, paramsubst() doesn't apply the same rules in the same way as
assignments, so getting both .var.3x=y and ${.var.3x} to be rejected
is annoyingly complex.

Even rejecting .var.3x=y in zsh produces "not an identifier" whereas
ksh attempts to run a command of that name ... that may not be worth
tackling.
