Z(4):akr@serein% Src/zsh -f  
serein% bindkey -e; autoload -U compinit; compinit -D; compdef _tst tst
serein% _tst () { _arguments '-o:*a:a:(a)' ':A:(A)' ':B:(B)' }

A   B

It shouln't complete `B'.

I didn't think following paragraph is applied only when `->state' is
used.  Maybe, this is my fault.

       The parameter `context' will be set to  the  automatically
       created  context  names.  These  are either strings of the
       form `option-opt-n' for the n'th argument  of  the  option
       -opt,  or  strings  of  the form `argument-n' for the n'th
       argument (for rest arguments the n is the string  `rest').
       For  example,  when  completing  the  argument  of  the -o
       option, the name is `option-o-1' and for the second normal
       (non-option-) argument it is `argument-2'.
