        OK, I'm trying to colourize hostnames for ssh.  So I type:

ssh l<Cx-h>

        And I get:

tags in context :completion::complete:ssh::
    argument-1 options  (_arguments _ssh _ssh)
tags in context :completion::complete:ssh:argument-1:
    hosts users  (_alternative _ssh _ssh) 
    hosts        (_hosts _combination _ssh_hosts _alternative _ssh _ssh) 
    users        (_users _combination _ssh_users _alternative _ssh _ssh)


        What tag should I use?  I've tried the following with no
success: 

zstyle ':completion:*:*:ssh:*:hosts' list-colors '=lemur*=01;32'
zstyle ':completion::complete:ssh:*:hosts' list-colors '=lemur*=01;32'
zstyle '*:hosts' list-colors '=lemur*=01;32'


        If I set something in ':completion:*' list-colors it works,
but I'm betting I'm just not understanding how styles are being
matched.
