Good time of day to everyone.

Sometimes you press [Tab] by instinct when in directory that is
network-mounted and has some millions files in it.
In this situation zsh basically ignores the [Ctrl+C] and don't respond to
anything for a bit of time.
It would be very great if there was a way to specify a timeout for
completion generation for zsh. Error message can be something like
"completion timeouted".
What do you think about this?

There are some questions on stackexchange from users wanting to get the
feature
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/32363/how-to-specify-timeout-for-tab-completion-in-zsh
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39404/cancel-zsh-tab-completion
with nothing as answer except the SIGINT, however in my case zsh didn't
respond for SIGINT as well.


Thank you!

Arseny.
