} Even adding user@ I would expect all possible hosts to be listed, not
} just the ones from /etc/hosts... To me the current behavior looks like a
} bug. Why should entries from /etc/hosts be exclusive in any shape or
} form? What makes them more special?

It's not (intended to be) /etc/hosts that's special, rather it's meant
to be the values in the user's explicit zstyles.  It just happens that
the "hosts" style has a default completion function _hosts, so that is
run by _combination, and _ssh_hosts has no way to know that the results
came from that default rather than from the literal styles.

This is the "[case] where this gives less than optimum behaviour" that
PWS speculated about in the patch in users/11333.
