Can this be applied to 3.0.5?

This implements the $'...' quoting syntax from ksh93.
Here is the ksh doc:

A single quote cannot
appear within the single quotes. A single quoted string
preceded by an unquoted $ is processed as an ANSI-C string
except that \0 within the string causes the remainder of
the string to be ignored and \E is equivalent to the
escape character (ascii 033).

Zsh is a little bit different, it interprets the escapes the same way the
print builtin does, and of course \0 within the string is allowed and
does not cause the reminder ignored.

This syntax is very useful to specify command line arguments with
non-printable characters or newlines.

You can try, it may work, but it's a new feature, so it does not
belong there. The patch for the manual will not work since 3.0.5 does
not use yodl.
