[PATCH] compsys.yo: key in $opt_args if the option is in one of mutually exclusive sets

[Jun T.]

If optspecs for the _arguments is grouped into sets of options
as in the example in the zshcompsys manpage:

_arguments -a - set1 -c - set2 -d

and if the option -c is on the command line, then it is added
to the associative array $opt_args with key 'set1--c', i.e.,
'set1-' is prepended to the option. But it seems this is not
documented anywhere.
