Re: completion with separator

[Pier Paolo Grassi <pierpaolog@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying with

remove_comma=(-r '[:alnum:] \t\n\-')
_values -O remove_comma -s , categories :message:'(aa bb cc)'

but all I get for completion is

func <tab>

func =<cursor>

instead of the string I have inserted as possible completion

I've tried also

_values -O remove_comma -s , categories \

:message:'(aa bb cc)'

to the same result

The short answer is that _values already creates its own -r option for
simple lists of values, but doesn't have enough information to do so
for arbitrary actions.

It's possible this could be improved.
