Seems to me that this *should* work, though it doesn't:

zsh% : "$foo[(f)@]"
zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack

What I want to do is treat the string value of foo as an array of lines,
and quote each line as a separate "word".  There's no other subscripting
construction that duplicates this effect; $foo[(f)1,(f)-1] is equivalent
to $foo[*], not $foo[@].
