I'm not entirely certain this patch is a good idea. It doesn't really hurt to have a completer offer things like command-line options for the latest version of a program, but to complete a file that an older version won't know what to do with is a bit worse. What proportion of zsh users can be expected to have the latest version of tar? There is not one single machine where I use zsh where this completion would be correct, because all of them have GNU tar but the latest is 1.14.10 (and most are much older).
