So am I. Been using it for about two weeks now.

Yes. All the completer functions are available as commands. Try _<tab> and 
you will see all the in-built ones.

If you want, you can rename texexec_completer to _texexec. That way, you 
will not get prompted for it on normal commands. I do not know if _ is 
reservered for distribution level completers or not, so did not name it 
_texexec.

I have been fairly impressed zsh tab completion. For example, suppose 
firefox has hung, and you want to kill it. Earlier, I did something like

ps aux | grep firefox

look at the pid and kill that process. With zsh, I can do

kill -9 firefox<tab> and it finds the pid for me. Sweet.

At some point, I hope to get a more sophisticated completer for texexec.
