The tt(-E) flag, or the tt(BSD_ECHO) option, can be used to disable
these escape sequences. In the latter case, tt(-e) flag can be used to
enable them.

+Note that for standards compliance a double dash does not terminate
+option processing; instead, it is printed directly. However, a
+single dash does terminate option processing, so the first dash,
+possibly following options, is not printed, but everything following it
+is printed as an argument. The single dash behaviour is different
+from other shells. For a more portable way of printing text, see
+tt(printf), and for a more controllable way of printing text within zsh,
