I agree that it is a pity this can't be done anymore when you have
state ->actions but I don't think it is as ugly as using
compstate[nmatches] would be. We just have to use `&& ret=0' or similar
and rely on checking of $state. The only other thing I can think of is
modifying _main_complete to use compstate[nmatches] when deciding
whether to move on to the next completer and allowing completion
functions for commands to not bother about their return code. I'm not
sure I like that though.

I don't really understand this but it sounds like you're not going to
be adding options in cases where they should be - options and states
can both add matches together.
Once we have this finalised, I will go through checking the return
codes of functions (and adding -A "-*" and -S options to _arguments)
but I don't have much time over the next two weeks.
