The option is called "equals".  "magicequalsubst" is now redundant; it
allowed

typeset foo=<whatever>

to exapnd <whatever>, which would include =bar if "equals" was also set.
It's redundant because the reserved word interface does that anyway, and
in other shells the equivalent of the non-reserved-word interface
doesn't do it either.
