Might you have misread the diff?

Before this patch, -M was handled twice: both by the zparseopts call and
by compadd.  With this patch, -M is only handled by compadd.

Empirically, matchspecs are honoured:

    % zstyle :completion:\* matcher-list ''  "r:|::=* r:|=*"
    % man X::L::Pat<TAB>
    <becomes>
    % man XML::Lib::Pattern

I tried to clarify this in the log message.

Cheers,

Daniel
