} Hm, I had a look but couldn't find a bug. Could you give me an example?

Sure.  Completion after "zle -R -c":

zagzig[501] zle -R -c <TAB>
Completing status line
Completing strings to list

The call to _arguments was:

      _arguments -s \
        "-R[redisplay]" \
	"(*)-c[clear listing]" \
	"(-)::status line: " "*:strings to list: "

Since "(*)-c" is there, and -c is on the line, the "*:strings to list: "
clause should never be activated.  Yet there's the description string for
it, in the listing.  If I go on to add something for the status line:

zagzig[501] zle -R -c something <TAB>
Completing no more arguments

What I expected the first time was either just "Completing status line"
or that plus "no more arguments", but not "strings to list".
