I don't usually plug things like this because they tend to tickle any
unstable corners of the shell, but auto-fu seems to be reasonably well
written and probably works better than incremental-complete-word:

Just use it with the _approximate completer and you should get something
much like what you've described.

} 2. categorisation in representation of suggestions/predictions

This can be accomplished with the tags mechanism in completion zstyles
plus appropriate values of the "format" style in the right contexts.
It'd be pretty tedious to set up the first time, I suspect, but perhaps
someone would do so and publish the result.
