Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.12-1
Severity: normal
The manual says this about the flag:
,----
| q
| Quote the resulting words with backslashes; unprintable or invalid
| characters are quoted using the $'\NNN' form, with separate quotes
| for each octet. [...]
`----
Unfortunately, the second clause seems to be only half correct;
unprintable characters do get wrapped in $'...', but not \NNN escaped:
,----
| naesten@hydrogen:~/hacking/crawl/crawl-ref/source% echo -n ${(q)$(echo
| -e "\e")}|hd
| 00000000 24 27 1b 27 |$'.'|
| 00000004
`----
Of course, what I'd *really* like would be for this to get escaped as
\e, not \NNN, but I was at least expecting the documented behavior!
