This makes me cry for help...

I'm confused, too, because it works for me... maybe some missing
patch of those that have appeared after dev-18.


Btw, when I wrote _matcher I was tempted to change _main_complete to
allow it to give arguments to completers, taken from the style, as in

  zstyle ... completer '_matcher m:{a-z}={A-Z}' _complete ...

Or maybe make _main_complete just eval the things and let the global
match specs be stored in a user visible parameter:

  zstyle ... completer matcher='m:{a-z}={A-Z}' _complete ...

Dunno if any of this would be better (it may be hard to decide what to 
do with styles and what to do with arguments/other means).

Bye
