I was just reading freshmeat and saw the "bash programmable completion" project listed; does anybody have any interest in doing something similar for/with zsh? For those not familiar with it, it's basically a project to create in bash what in zsh would be a file containing compinit/zstyle completion statements; just a big, sourceable .bashrc file (loaded from and in addition to the user's normal .bashrc, presumably). Is there perhaps already a project like this that I don't know about? If not, I think it would be neat to start one. Question: if I/we were to start one, what's the consensus on whether compinit or zstyle should be used? Admittedly I'm a relatively new zsh user, but it seems from reading the docs that the "zstyle" builtin is pretty new, so although it may be better, there may be vastly more voluminous content out there using the older system (kinda like it was with ipchains/iptables when iptables came out). Perhaps it could use both, and if so would that be a Bad Thing(tm)? Assuming nobody felt like "porting" the old compinit stuff to zstyle of course... Opinions? -- john@xxxxxx
