Equivalent of compctl -L with "new" completion system?

Equivalent of compctl -L with "new" completion system?

[John Reese]

Is there a command or function that will (a) list all commands that
have custom (zshcompsys) completions and indicate what they are, and
(b) do the same, but only for a given command, like

(a)  compctl -L
and
(b)  compctl -L svn

do for the old compctl-style completions?

You can do

print -l ${(k)_comps}

to show the contexts for which there are completions.  This includes
both command names and special contexts such as
-value-,DISPLAY,-default-  (the value of the DISPLAY environment variable).

print ${_comps[svn]}

will show you if a given command is handled and if so by what function.

Neat.  Thanks.
