With `substitute' set to zero, yes. Hrmpf, the ${(e)...} neatly
removes the backslash before the `$'. Since that isn't special to
globbing, I think we should just add to code to remove such
backslashes when `substitute' is zero.


And then I noticed that complist had a problem with clearing the end
of the previously shown list in a menu selection when the prompt went
from spanning multiple lines to only one line. Again. An off-by-one
error.
