see zsh-workers/18475, still awaiting confirmation of the fix but I may
simply commit it this evening when I get home.

Sorry, I've had a busy week and haven't had a chance to look at this.

Unfortunately, the _describe change has a problem so we don't want to be
contriving the tests. Note that the test is using _arguments and not
_describe. I'm going to back out that change until I have more time to
think of a better solution.

The test is doing _arguments '-+o'. Because there are no other
(non-option) things being completed, it adds the -o and +o regardless
of the prefix. In _describe, I can't know if _arguments is completing
other things so I can't think of any easy solution other than checking
prefix-needed manually in any other function using _describe -o.

how about adding another option to _describe e.g. -O which works the
same but doesn't test prefix-needed and only gets called from
_arguments?

I've just realised, the documentation for _describe's -o option still
states that _describe will use the prefix-needed style. With this backed
out it doesn't. So if you're planning to make a release in the next few
days, you may want to correct it.

I'm going to be away for a few days so am not going to have a chance to
think about this in any more detail just yet.

If you really plan to make a release, please look at "PATCH: fix menu
completion on terminal with do=^J/without do"; it did fix things on Linux
console at lease.

Possibly.

I was hoping to experiment with a few things because I've got a couple
of other vague ideas. Functions other than _arguments might also be
completing things besides options so would also need the -O behaviour.

Anyway, I've got a train to catch so I can't do anything till next week.

I couldn't think of a particularly better solution. A nasty hack would
involve looking at $compstate[nmatches] to see if anything else had
been completed but you can't rely on the options be completed after
whatever else. postfunctions aren't much use because they are run too
late after all the completers. In some respects prefix-needed is
actually redundant because the same can be achieved with the
ignored-patterns style.

So your -O is probably the best solution.

With documentation added, it now looks like the following.

I notice the option only affects prefix-needed, not prefix-hidden, which
was always handled by _describe.  That's probably OK as this is a matter
for displaying.

Sorry to complicate this but I did another experiment and I think the
compstate[nmatches] solution would work. I had thought that a tag-order of
'options arguments' (with quotes) would cause the completion of options
to execute before arguments even though they display together but that
is not the case: they execute in the same tag loop iteration so in the
order they are defined.

So, you would just have to make sure that anything calling _describe -o
came last in the tag loop. It would actually work better though because
it then does the job for you of seeing if options are completed alone
or with other things. It would also mean that a tag-order specifying
options before something else would complete the options first even if
there was no `-' prefix. Which is I think better.

So what do we prefer - an extra, obscure -O option to _describe or the
peculiar must be last in the tag loop rule but with it working slightly
better? Or does that explanation all make no sense?

Yes, prefix-hidden is unrelated to this issue.

-O is useful in contexts where only options are valid completions and so
they should always be completed regardless of the prefix. So you might
want to use -O and not handle prefix-needed in the calling function.

I'm not particularly bothered one way or the other.

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.
