} $0}'`") scoadmin

Try this; I don't actually have scoadmin to try it:

    compctl -k "(${(L@)$(scoadmin -t):gs/ /\\\ /})" scoadmin

Aside to zsh-workers:

If (L) is the flag to lowercase a parameter expansion, shouldn't (:L) work
as a modifier, too?  (I know there's (:l), but consistency would be nice.)
Similarly for (U) and (:U).

Aside, part 2:

It would be nice if there were a specific error message for an unrecognized
modifier, rather than just "closing brace expected".
