The classic introduction to this is the intro.ms file in the Doc directory of
the source. That goes right back to the earlier days, so doesn't mention
programmable completion, but is a pretty good introduction to why zsh
was different in the first place.
The format it's in shows it's age. You might be best simply to do something
like
nroff -ms intro.ms| colcrt | uniq >intro.txt
