That wouldn't work on my system here. It looks like there is a
"SECURE_PATH" compile option to sudo which needs to be enabled before it
uses a different path:
% PATH=/usr/bin sudo printenv PATH
/usr/bin
Out of interest, is there any way to run a process detached from the tty?
(the above sometimes prompts for a password.)

If you use a style, give it a generic sounding name then. Perhaps it
could be looked up from _command_names instead of _sudo. Keep in mind
that people might want to do things like add to the existing path or
remove `.'.
