This was based on the discussion (and Sebastian's sample code) of how
mksh ${|REPLY=$'abc\n'} works.  I thought it better to be consistent
for all of these forms.

I'm disinclined to change it for native zsh,  but I will look at
whether it can easily be changed either based on emulation mode or a
setopt (SH_WORD_SPLIT maybe?  Hrm).

Defintely worth mentioning in the FAQ tho.
