} So... it should be eval'd?

If it needs eval-ing, that can be done with "zstyle -e ...".

I think he means that it should have several possible values, e.g. (just
throwing out ideas):

zstyle ':completion:*:sudo:*' command-path delete . .. '../*'

zstyle ':completion:*:sudo:*' command-path append /usr/local/bin /opt/bin

zstyle ':completion:*:sudo:*' command-path prepend ~/bin /usr/local/bin

zstyle ':completion:*:sudo:*' command-path assign /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin

(This begs the question of what to do if you want to add things at both
the end and the beginning.)
