I'm not sure that's any different from documenting that the default
depends on the context (which you have to do either way), you're just
naming that behavior.

Easiest is to just use 'zstyle -t' in the new use cases and leave the
'zstyle -T' as-is in the existing twelve uses.

If you like 'auto', then it's not much more effort to add all the true
strings plus 'auto' to the existing 'zstyle -T' calls.  The new uses
would remain 'zstyle -t' as 'auto' and unset mean false in this
context.

Somebody make a choice and I'll do it..
