} Yes. Unless the parent process exported FPATH to zsh.
Long, long ago it was decided that it was a bad idea to import FPATH.
So long ago that it's not in the zsh-workers archive, unfortunately.
Probably has something to do with the fact that its a huge security
hole, i.e., you can cause some other user's shell to inherit a trojan

Not all of them are mentioned in the docs, and some of them really are
not much more than examples; I think we should rearrange some of the
files under Functions/ while we're doing the ones for Completion/. (I
will try to make some suggestions after I've had some sleep.)

} As I said with the original suggestion, there could be a variable set
} to point to the base of the installed functions.
A parameter set how? By hardwiring it at compile time? I suppose that
the zsh/complete module could define one.

Maybe; I'm not convinced.
} Do we need to account for kshautoload though?
The patch I included for compinit, did so, for compinit itself; but:
} How does someone with kshautoload set get the new completion system to

The only way is to "zcompile -z" the whole thing and then put the .zwc
file in fpath. This has been mentioned before (it may even be in the
docs somewhere).
