Hm, yes. Makes completion after `$' slightly slower, but I guess one
will seldom or never notice this.

Oh, yes. Have I never tried it, silly me? But the space after $param (without
braces) not. Should it?

But the `} ' is auto-removed when you type `['. And since one can also 
subscript scalars and sometimes don't want to subscript arrays I'd
prefer to not treat them differently.

That, however could be done. (But I don't plan to write it. Someone else?)

parameter completion in expansions

[Andrej Borsenkow]

When completing parameter name in parameter expansions zsh automatically adds
blank or '} ' to $par / ${par . This looks like suitable default for scalars -
but I found, that with arrays I mostly want subscription (at least in
interactive shell).

What about adding autoremoved '[' if parameter is array? (The suffix should of
course be removed if I press '}'). At the least, do nothing and leave cursor
immediately after completed name?

As this really depends on personal usage, may be, even some config key is
appropriate.
