Here is the first trap - ${(f)... will change double tab to space, so
smsas would contain 'alias number alias number...' instead of
'alias<tab><tab>number alias<tab><tab>number...'...

...and this won't work.

Completion filters possibilities by matchers, not their descriptions. In
my case matcher and description must be dynamically chosen on the
strength of prefix. As in other post:

gotar:~: smsaddr -l [tab]
SMS alias
6bone    -- 509xxx
admol    -- 602xxx

here admol is to be completed, 602xxx is description, but in:

gotar:~: smsaddr -l 6[tab]
SMS alias
6bone    -- 509xxx
602xxx   -- admol

602xxx is to be completed (prefix '6') and admol is it's description.
