Looking at the source, it seems only - is treated as a modifier.
It'd be nice for it to be updated if it can remain portable.

Shouldn't this be in Completion/Zsh/Type?

I really don't think _default is applicable there. The function is only
for completing date formats. If the calling function needs that, it
should do it itself. If _default is somehow needed, the return status
should be considered.

Using _describe to complete just % seems rather overkill. An _wanted
would do. However, it'd be better to use a prefix for the % and use
compset -P to cut off complete format specifiers or unrelated
characters. The patch below does that and adds a case statement to
select some OS specific additions.

It'd perhaps be nice to complete format specifiers and modifiers with a
different tag and description.
