This all leads me to believe that substitutions shouldn't be highlighted
at all; it's just to complicated to get right.  At least we're able to
match well-nested stuff, but 

	${(@)^${(@)${(@M)setopts:#\(*}/\)/)-}/\(/(-}

is just too weird.  It's a bugger that it highlights too much, though.
Suggestions?  I guess that if there was a good way of matching stuff
like
	${var/pat/sub}
	     ^^^^^^^^
one could figure out that this could contain unescaped parentheses and
so on...

Fixed.

That's getting a bit out of hand.

Yeah, it's the pre-command modifier.  Perhaps we should simply ignore
it.

Well, it highlights the <<<.
