Thanks, that's a nice summary.  It's especially nice of it to mention 
the   $'foo'    gotcha,
which is ignored in other docs.  Just when I thought I knew what a 
single quote was :(
But the zshbuiltins page, under 'print' doesn't go into any detail about 
this    $'foo'
form.  Never mind, the prompt string is the only place I've seen it so 
far and I'm
forewarned now for the next time I see it.
