If that were the case, I would expect history ops that reference words by
position would also be confused.  E.g., something like

zsh% print Only two kinds of witnesses exist.  The first live in a neighborhood
where !#:7 !#:8 !#:9

would likely substitute the wrong substrings for !#:7 etc., because the
same array of word positions is used to condense blanks.
