Um, I just tried the completion. What is your problem with the way it
currently works? I don't see any 'brackets attached'.

ACK.

Well, no. You are right. More or less.

check_com() *would* be available for completions, too. I mean, in what
environment are you using compsys *without* being in an interactive
shell?

However, I tend to agree with you. Leave check_com() out.
The reason it got implemented was to have a simple uniform way to
check for commands/aliases/functions etc. in various places in our
zshrc - because we check for more then one program in there. :-)


If you could the explain the 'brackets attached' thing above, I'd be
happy to apply this one. (A first quick look didn't reveal any
breakage).
