I had thought that a tag-order of Seems it won't work for _arguments where we have a '*' action which uses a state. Currently _arguments assumes that something will be completed for the state so doesn't offer options where prefix-needed is set and that state completes nothing. _describe can't know if _arguments has such a state. I can't think of any obvious way around this and haven't really had time to tinker with _arguments in case there is some possible hack. So feel free to commit your _describe -o/-O thing. I'm sorry for holding that up. Oliver
