Interesting ... that's not what I posted, yet that looks like a 
quotation.  I posted this:

BTW, here's the actual thing:

[ "$nospaces" ] && _execute_output=( ${{f}"$( sed -r 
's/(\x1b\[K[:-]\x1b\[m\x1b\[K)[[:space:]]*/\1 /g' <<< 
${(F)_execute_output} )"} )

Yup, it throws an error alright.  This is rather better:

[ "$nospaces" ] && _execute_output=( ${(f)"$( sed -r 
's/(\x1b\[K[:-]\x1b\[m\x1b\[K)[[:space:]]*/\1 /g' <<< 
${(F)_execute_output} )"} )
