There is quite a bit in `Etc/zsh-development-guide'. But that is
probably cryptic, too.

P.S.: Hey, they are moved to `Etc'. Great. Thanks, Peter.

I think 7436 is the correct fix to the problem.

Base/_complete_opts should be removed. Because there are no completion
function which use it (except old _cvs) and it has very poor
name/implementation/document.

The separation is sometimes useful for custumizations because we can
override each function individually. These functions behaves like `hook'.
I think it is useful that making hooks more easily without adding new files.

Modules - How to write ?

[jarausch]

I am curious how to write a module for zsh.
Given that I find the example module cryptic, is there anything that
helps understanding what and why or is the single source the module
loader within ZSH?

Thanks for any hints,
Helmut.
