I feel very sympathetic to the whole gist of this message. Not to blame anyone. I think zsh is amazing. But I too tried my hand at completion and always get bogged down in details without accomplishing much. There's a fairly extensive treatment in "From bash to zsh". But having read it a few times, I still feel quite uncomfortable with "styles", "contexts" and the whole completion business. -- JR
