zsh older than workers/28418 (zsh revision 23bdfc7fd2a012d5205ed22d18eb39e41c8fbc95)
doesn't support the «${name:offset:length}» syntax. Therefore, use the older
«$name[start,end]» syntax instead.
Followup to 3cb58fd7d7, "Optimization: -1 is
extra computation of string length internally".

The important part of this change is removing the second conjunct from the
condition; the remainder of the change gives one example of when that matters.
The following warnings are issued by zsh as of zsh-workers/37018 (commit

zsh prior to workers/32609 (commit 9d47e8398d299e53ffe4e7ddf3731d2fedae9948)
does not support the (-n)-less «[[ $var ]]» syntax.
Fixeszsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting#225.
The change of behaviour is triggered by test-data/sudo-redirection.zsh: the iteration
on "otheruser" sets $next_word to ":regular::sudo_opt::start::sudo_opt::start:" before
this patch, but to ":regular::sudo_opt::start:" after it (note the deduplication).
The fix for issue #9 was accidentally broken by the penultimate commit.
Note that we don't care about aliases to ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_TOKENS_COMMANDSEPARATOR
entries, since the code deals with aliases at command position.
Use this to remove [path_prefix] highlighting during accept-* widgets.
This causes ": file.tx<CR>" to remove the underline from "file.tx", like
": file.tx<SPACE>" already does. (Assume 'file.txt' exists.)
