_arguments - completing option several times

_arguments - completing option several times

[Borsenkow Andrej]

Why this does not work?

    '(-f --file)'{\*-d,\*--directory=}'[add directory to infopath]:info
dir:_files -/'

I get

bor@itsrm2% info -d /x/y/z -d /to/i  zs
No matches for: `menu items' or `menu item'

Note that it tries to interpret option value as argument?

Hm, with the line (in _info) looking like:

  '(-f --file)'\*{-d,--directory=}'[add directory to infopath]:_files -/' \

it works for me. The roiginal had `-d --directory' in the exclusion
list and only with that it doesn't work. Explicitly mentioning options
in exclusion lists takes precedence over a `*' before the option.
I.e., in this case it takes the second `-d ...' as being arguments.
