I think the intention is functions using vared that do want to invoke
the compsys machinery.
Normally, vared just gives you filename completion,
compcontext="-command-line-" vared -c foo
treats it as a single command-line. It doesn't look ideal for zse as
there's no splitting on newlines.
I can't say I have a real example, though I have used compcontext with
other values.
I've also got a script using vared that does completely avoid compsys.
It uses zle -C explicitly and also needs to do stuff with
compstate[insert] that _main_complete normally does for you.
