Great! I first tried replacing mw+1 with md+7, got caught and removed
the d. Accepting a "d" modifier reduces surprise.
About the completion documentation, what was the verdict? If you just
change
oldp=( "$1"(Nmw+1) )
to
oldp=( "$1"(Nmw+0) )
in the zshcompsys man page (in the cache_invalid example), it will
surprise novices much less. Not the end of the world if you don't change
it though...
Best,
GI
