I like this particularly for the "sense" portion of the completion: with
this patch and extra-verbose set, the show-ambiguity style actually
highlights the "next typeable character", just like it does everywhere
else. For the "time specifier" portion the change is also welcome.
However, with this patch and extra-verbose, the «'' - exactly»
alternative doesn't show. (It's not just "hidden"; each of "- --
before" and "+ -- after" take half of $COLUMNS.)
I tried to reproduce this in 'zsh -f', but «echo *(m<TAB>» simply cycled
between various integers after the 'm'; it didn't give the calendar
completion at all. It still did that with extra-verbose and
group-name='' set, I haven't debugged further yet.

I don't have an intuition for which of them is more appropriate, but
whichever it ends up being, I will set it in my config...
Cheers,
Daniel
