} Hrm. So we have to make it complete option arguments in the next
} word(s) even if the option string doesn't end in the option, right?

In this case, that's correct.  It's analogous to 

	tar fvxz foo.tar.gz

(The _approximate and _correct completers have a wonderful time with tar,
by the way.)
 
} What makes me cringe is the case where we have -xy and both options
} have arguments...

You mean like `tar fvcbz foo.tar.gz 1024 foo'?

I don't think it's incumbent upon _arguments to handle this without help;
that's exactly what the state machine is for.  It just has to be possible
to tell _arguments that other option letters are allowed in the string of
options even after one that has a following argument, so that it can go
to the right next state.

This could be done by something like `_arguments -s+ ...' if it's too
awful to come up with still more OPTSPEC syntax (which I'm beginning to
believe that it is).

} Shouldn't we be calling _urls here instead of partially repeating it?

_rpm doesn't really repeat any of _urls.  It makes no attempt to complete
whatever comes after the host name.

} It shouldn't be too hard to adapt _urls to pass any -g options to any
} _files so we could tell it here to complete .rpm files only. The only
} slightly messy part would be preventing it from completing gopher and
} file urls; any ideas?

If you leave a `compset -P ...' and `compadd ftp:// http://' in _rpm and
simply replace the call to _hosts with a call to _urls, that should be
enough to restrict the URL types, shouldn't it?

Oh, but it's not, because _urls doesn't handle IPREFIX properly.  It'll
happily complete http://<TAB> into http://gopher:// ...

Of course the compadd in _rpm needs a `-S ""' added to it.  Which reminds
me ... I tried changing that compadd to be:

	_alternative ... 'prefixes:URL prefix:compadd \ ftp://'

to try to force a leading space onto the command line, but what got put
on the command line *included* the backslash.  What's up with that?  It
works to put a backslashed space in the pattern for '_files -g ...'.

Oops.
