Alas, one of the fields is almost guaranteed to be a URL, thus
containing a colon, and all of those are fair game in the description
field.

In case anyone is interested: while nats(1) (open-source, part of the
CNCF "NATS" project) is changing fast enough that we probably don't want
the completion shipping with zsh at this time, here's a copy of the
completion I'm using today:

  https://get-nats.io/zsh.complete.nats

The tool is one of those Golang ones which has `--completion-bash` but
not `--completion-zsh` and where with a bit of custom zsh logic we can
do a "better than stock tool" job of generating a reasonably decent and
useful completion.

(I know that I'm misusing the per-flag description by listing it twice in
this way for the two different location but I haven't yet come up with
an easier-to-maintain approach)
