Look at Completion/Base/Completer/_approximate -- it replaces compadd
with a wrapper function that it then removes again when done.

You would want to do the same sort of trick, except that your wrapper
will insert "-O results_array" in its argument list when calling
"builtin compadd".  You can then examine the $results_array after
calling _files.
