Speak of the devil and he appears:  a guy on StackExchange just offered 
this for my 'keep erased lines' issue:

    remnant=( "${(@M)remnant##*$~zsh_case${searchstring[ee]}*}" )

... (name off the array was 'cc' previously) but this seems to be about 
approximately exactly my imaginary operator, no?  '##', which I 
understand, throw in the '(@M)' which is probably not that hard to 
understand, so unless I hear different, it seems to produce identical 
results to the more belabored form:

    remnant=( "${remnant[@]/#%^*$~zsh_case${searchstring[ee]}*}" )

... so thereyago.  Two operators shorter.
