can combination of zstyle -e and -a cause infinite loop?

[Amm <ammdispose-zsh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,


I got this curious question when trying to find
solution of something else.
(based on Bart's solution in some other e-mail)


if I use zstyle like this:


zstyle -e ':completion:*' matcher-list \

    'zstyle -a ":completion:$curcontext" matcher-list reply'


OR

if I write something like this in two lines:

zstyle -e ':completion:*' matcher-list \

    'zstyle -a ":completion:b" matcher-list reply'
zstyle -e ':completion:b' matcher-list \

    'zstyle -a ":completion:a" matcher-list reply'


Will any of the two cases above cause infinite loops?

Or zsh will detect these loops?


Just curious to know, I have not tried! :fear:
