Should the order of "$@" and "${(@)expl}" in the _object_files part of
that patch be reversed?

In general, the parameters should be ordered so a function's caller has
an opportunity to override defaults set by the function; so options in
"$@" should be placed so as to override those in "$expl[@]".

I'm not sure, however, what that means in practice.  I *thought* that in
compadd, when an option flag is repeated its last occurrence wins, but
'compadd -ld foo -d bar' uses $foo, not $bar...
