Dynamic completion question

I'm working on adding the ability to handle FLAC tags dynamically with
the completion I wrote; I've got something that *mostly* works.
function _metaflac_tags () {
local foo bar
foo=$(metaflac $line[1] --export-tags-to=-) #Gets a list of the
tags (and their values)
bar=("${(@)${(f)foo}%[=]*}") #Cuts the list into an array just of
the tag names (what I want)
compadd -a bar -X "Existing tags"
}
This is called from:
_arguments '--show-tag=:FLAC tags:_metaflac_tags'
My questions are, first, is this the right way to do this? Should I
use some utility function instead? (maybe _alternatives or something?)
Second, assuming this *is* the right way to do this, how do I get a
neat looking description line, like I get for all the other argument
completions? I assume I'm pre-empting it with my call to compadd,
somehow, but I don't understand how this is happening.
Suggestions greatly appreciated!
