You need to override the "compadd" builtin.  Have a look at the example
_expand_word_and_keep function in Functions/Zle/keeper.


Which, I've just noticed, unnecessarily uses both the "function" keyword
and the "name()" syntax; only one or the other is necessary.  Also the
"always" block in _expand_word_and_keep really should cover the entire
definition of the compadd function.  So many nits to be picked ...
