Thanks! (And as long as we don't have users who tried to understand
what's going on I don't expect this to be the final form anyway.)

And then I saw that... Andrej: have I missed something, or did you

P.S.: I changed a couple of `#defcomp's to `#compdef's, or will that
      patch not make it into pws-15?
