        <foo.txt cat

- redirection operators:

        echo > foo.txt

- arithmetic evaluations:

        (( 42 ))

- $'' strings, including \x/\octal/\u/\U escapes

        : $'foo\u0040bar'

- multiline strings:

        % echo "line 1
        line 2"

- string literals that haven't been finished:

        % echo "Hello, world

- redirection and command separators that would be highlighted as `path_approx`

        % echo foo;‸
        % echo <‸

    (where `‸` represents the cursor location)

- escaped globbing (outside quotes)

        % echo \*


## Other changes:

- implemented compatibility with zsh's paste highlighting (issue #175)

- `$?` propagated correctly to wrapped widgets

- don't leak $REPLY into global scope


## Developer-visible changes:
