With a Finnish keyboard you have to use Shift+7
to get /, so that's the reason for my question.

Yes, this does just what I was thinking about!

Ok, sorry for inadequate information. So, I have in my
~/.zshrc: [hopefully you can see this..]

# man page completion
man_glob () {
	local a
	read -cA a
	if [[ $a[2] = -s ]]	# Or [[ $a[2] = [0-9]* ]] for BSD
	then
		reply=( ${^$(man -w | sed 's/:/
/g')}/man$a[3]/$1*$2(N:t:r) )
	else
		reply=( ${^$(man -w | sed 's/:/
/g')}/man*/$1*$2(N:t:r) )
	fi
}
compctl -K man_glob -f -x 'C[-1,-P]' -m - \
	'R[-*l*,;]' -g '*.(man|[0-9nlpo](|[a-z]))' + -g
'*(-/)' -- man

When I type for example 'man local' and hit tab
I can choose from:

locale.1 locale.3 locale.7

I prefer the man completion to show me the section
numbers (although I have remove the number before
pressing enter since man can't find e.g. locale.1).
With zsh4 'man local[TAB]' doesn't list the
alternatives, so that's why I don't like.
