I do not agree, the completion script maintained by zsh does not even use
--list-options and --commands options, so commands and options are heavily
duplicated which leads to fragile and hard to maintain code.

However the situation of scripts in tools (zsh_completion_{new,old}) is not
perfect either, the zsh_completion_new one is close to the one maintained
by the Zsh group, so same issue there.

I would like to propose mine, that is a simple and short adaptation that
works fine one current Zsh's versions and use --commands and --list-options
to stay version agnostic.

All the best,
