} I don't think that's the problem. Note in the trace above that we end up

} group named `argument-1'. The problem is that _setup can't differentiate
} between a "real tag" and a group name being used as a tag. The *right*
} behavior, I think, is for all "real tag" lookups to use `(-default-)' in
} ZLS_COLORS, whereas group names being used as tags use their actual name.

} Can we devise a way to tell _setup whether $1 is a real tag, or a group?
(Sound of hand smacking forehead.)
If $1 is a real tag, then it'll be the same as the last field of the
context, right? E.g. this bit of trace output:
+_setup:5:if: zstyle -a :completion::complete:ssh:argument-1:argument-1 list-colors val
So what if _setup was to do the following?
if zstyle -a ":completion:${curcontext}:$1" list-colors val; then
zmodload -i zsh/complist
if [[ "$1" = default ]]; then
ZLS_COLORS="${(j.:.)${(@)val:gs/:/\\\:}}"
elif [[ "$curcontext" = *:"$1" ]]; then
eval "ZLS_COLORS=\"(-default-)\${(j.:(-default-).)\${(@)val:gs/:/\\\:}}:\${ZLS_COLORS}\""
else
eval "ZLS_COLORS=\"(${1})\${(j.:(${1}).)\${(@)val:gs/:/\\\:}}:\${ZLS_COLORS}\""
fi
# ...
fi
This seems to do exactly the right thing in the few cases I attempted. Of
course, it doesn't address the problem with (group-name) in the value of
the list-colors style, nor the gname problem in _description ...
