Firstly, to prevent conflicts you can remove "jobs" from the same
completion zstyle I sent earlier for leading colons in command
completion.
For command execution, you're probably best going with a
zle-line-finish hook that does a search-and-replace, e.g.
BUFFER=${(*)BUFFER//#%(#b)(${(kj:|:)~functions[(I)%*]})/\\\\$match[1]}
(remove (*) and setopt extendedglob for older zsh)
