FWIW you can also use the prefix-needed zstyle for this purpose,
for commands, functions, and parameter names:
from Etc/ChangeLog-4.3:
|2011-03-08 Barton E. Schaefer <schaefer@zsh.org>
|
| * Greg Klanderman: 28846: Completion/Zsh/Type/_functions,
| Completion/Zsh/Type/_command_names,
| Completion/Zsh/Type/_parameters, Doc/Zsh/compsys.yo: adapt
| prefix-needed zstyle to handle the completion function naming
| convention of a leading underscore.
Maybe the set of hard-coded prefixes should be expanded from [^_.]
though; I do not use and plugins so it has not been a problem for me.
