Remove the following lines in pch.c.

        if (! posixly_correct && (name[OLD] || name[NEW]) && name[INDEX])
          {
            free (name[INDEX]);
            name[INDEX] = 0;
          }

I think `compconf option_prefix=all' is useful.

And, I found another problem. `patch -f<TAB>' does not show list of
completion candidates. However completion itself works well.

is27e1u11% bindkey -e; fpath=($PWD/Completion/*(/)); autoload -U compinit; compinit -D; compdef _tst tst
is27e1u11% compconf group_matches=yes message_format='%d' description_format='%d' describe_options=yes   
is27e1u11% patch -f<TAB>
option

is27e1u11% set -x
is27e1u11% patch -f<TAB>
...

option

So, I think this is the problem of `_display'.
