There's no "ZLE" there because it } already has a minimal effect on the main shell in the [[:WORD:]] } test: arguably zero-width punctuation characters should be considered } part of the word regardless of the option, i.e. even if displayed } specially, and I might change this. Pardon if I'm just not thinking this through far enough, but what if any affect does this have on completion of strings that contain zero- width characters? Mainly I'm wondering whether NO_combiningchars needs to be added to _comp_options, or something of that ilk. } - As always, completion is so complicated it could do pretty much } anything Well, yeah. So perhaps I should refine my question: What effect is this eventually intended to have on completion when all of the details have been worked out? (Something which may, conceivably, never come entirely to pass, I admit).
