I can't see a straightforward way of doing this; it looks like it needs
some complicated rewriting of _expand_alias into some other function, as
you were trying.
It might be possible to rig up something at a higher level (probably ZLE
widgets rather than completion) to call _expand_alias, ensuring it
accepts the result with all expansions, then call the generic completion
you want, but I haven't thought that through.
