setopt listtypes, I guess.

There is also a bit of extra padding at the end of each match. With
normal listing this shouldn't be printed for the last match of each
line, but with complist it is (to have the right margin nicely aligned 
if someone sets the bcakground colour).

I'll just wait for this solution and then hack the completion listing
code, we'll probably end up with some utility functions that at least
try to return some information about the current cursor-position or
the number of characters printed in this process. Then we can decide
what else we want to do with them.
