It wouldn't have to be a list of descriptions; one string would be sufficient.
(That's the best you get now with -X anyway.)
My point was that you can't *just* extend the -K function. You might have
perfectly good completion that doesn't use -K but that needs to compute an
explanation string.
It'd probably be sufficient to make a variant of -X that applies expansions
in the manner of -s.
BTW, compctl -s is mentioned in the summary but never explained in the text
of the zsh.texi that came with 3.0.5.
