Yeah, it was a bad idea to make ${!prefix@} ever work in the first place.
The original intent was to use ${!prefix*} like in ksh93, but * and @ are
the same just about everywhere else in word expansions. The exception is
the new set of ${param@op} expansions.
This will work again in the next test release.
