} Thank you Bart, the only downside I see is that I currently use the

} automount points in the fake-files zstyle [...]
}

You could declare it as a provided feature in the zsh/complete module,
and test for it with "zmodload -l ...".  I'm not sure whether you can
declare that a module has a "p:" (parameter) feature but not have any
real special parameter to go with it ...

} Looks like the right answer is to add the parameter within
} complete.c.

And declare it as a feature to solve Greg's problem above?  If it's only
a special parameter when completion is actually in progress, it can't be
tested from a startup file.
