I agree that `telnet' has many variants and `_telnet' should complete only valid options of `telnet' if it is possible. Extracting existence of options from the help text is better way. But the help text of telnet is not suitable for `_arguments'. Hm. Maybe `_arguments' should take an argument for a function to parse a help text. -- Tanaka Akira
