It's only added if you're using the new completion system.  It gets
installed by `compinit'.

} How about bind it to M-/ in emacs mode and c-p in vi insert mode?

Ideally, that's what we'd do.  But at present, the `#compdef' tags used
by `compinit' to define key bindings only allow you to say what key to
use, not what keymap to install it in.  It goes into whatever map is in
effect at the time `compinit' runs.
