I've been thinking about this, too. Some kind of autoauto-functions
with arguments describing the tags to expect and what to do with
them. Or some external configuration and then cal autoauto or
whatever. (Heck, haven't I mentioned that yet? I thought I had, but
maybe I've been only thinking too much about it.)
This is even more interesting if we once get into heavy widget-hacking.
What I'm currently thinking about is how we could generalise the
dumping code and integrate it with a generic autoauto function.
Bye
Sven

Don't you think, that these can be used not only with completion widgets? I
actually like the idea, when I just need to drop a file in defined place and it
will automatically be used next time I start shell. No more .zshrc editing etc.
What I mean, does it make sense to extend compinit/compdef to handle "normal"
user defined widgets as well ('course, the names will probably be too misleading
...). E.g. 'compdef -w widget function' to define normal widget. You could even
automatically bind it to key sequence with additional parameter ... say "-k
^Xn"?
And start function with '#compdef -w <widget>'
Comments?
