This will be a very neat feature to have. One thing I'm excited about
is the ability to cleanly perform assignments during prompt expansion
(e.g. to capture information during PS0 or PS4 expansion).
Something I suspect people will complain about is that this change
makes some polyglot zsh/bash scripts that were previously
syntactically valid no longer so. A particularly prominent one is
git-completion.bash [1] distributed with git, which now reports syntax
errors when sourced due to the expansion on line 414:
413 if [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION-} ]]; then
414 unset ${(M)${(k)parameters[@]}:#__gitcomp_builtin_*} 2>/dev/null
415 else
416 unset $(compgen -v __gitcomp_builtin_)
417 fi
Hopefully, there are not too many such scripts and they can just gain
some workarounds (like wrapping the zsh-only code in an eval).
