Playing with this, I managed to get a BUG message:

% a='*'
% echo ${(bqq)a}
 utils.c:5104: BUG: bad quote type in quotestring
'*'

We've got (q-) for minimal quoting. If - is a sort of parameter to q,
perhaps we should continue that: (q*) might be more memorable. And
combining (b) with (q) is a bit odd anyway.

Also the completion function should be kept up-to-date.
