Styles usage problem

Styles usage problem

[Andrej Borsenkow]

I just discovered, that completion does not use completers I've just set up.
Look here:

bor@itsrm2% cat ~/.zsh-styles
compstyle '*' completer '_oldlist' '_complete' '_correct' '_approximate'
'_match'

...

but

bor@itsrm2% zstyle -L
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete
zstyle ':completion*' completer _oldlist _complete _correct _approximate _match

In other words, I told zsh to use specific completers in every case - but Zsh
installed it's own, "more specific" style - and simply ingnored my settings.

I fell foul of this, too.  Maybe this is a case for use of the default tag
--- after all, there's nothing to stop you defining completers with the
pattern '*', and that should still take precedence over the supplied
default.  Same probably applies to just about any zstyle supplied as a
default.
