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
