All true, yeah. And you kind of implied it in your first bullet, but, to call
attention to it, a nice thing about that method is that it also extends to
(positional) operands. The -Ya thing i suggested wouldn't do that. (On the
other hand you pretty much never want to pass operands through a type function
to compadd, so idk if it matters.)

My main (only?) issue with it is just that it looks a bit visually messy to
me. Calling it with -Y$^arr is succinct enough, but you'll rarely do that in
practice, as arguments to type functions are usually written out at the point
of call. So you'd see a lot more of the `-Y-a -Y"my optarg" -Y-bcd` kind
of stuff.
