Thanks, I've updated the patch. Does it complete ipv6 addresses if you
add 6(#c0,1) after the second inet instead?
${${${(M)${(f)"$(ifconfig -a)"}:#*inet*}##*inet6(#c0,1) (addr:)(#c0,1)}%% *}
But maybe if it's an inet6 it should also be surrounded by [], I'm not
super familiar with ipv6 and what programs expect since I don't use
it. At least ssh(1) mentions that you can do so in the contexts that
this completer is used in from _ssh. I do have access to a host with
ipv6 addresses, and those have a /64 or so without a space at the end
too, I guess that would have to be removed too then. Is it the same
with the new output? (That host has the old output).
