} There are two problems with that. First I've modified the lexer so that
} !, [[, { and } are reserved words now. This means that these must be
} delimited. So {echo} no longer works, { echo } should be used instead.
} Similarily [[-z $foo]] does not work, [[ -z $foo ]] should be used.
Hmm. I don't think anything else I've done depends on that, but given
that we're already at 3.0-preN for N >1, it seems a rather bad time to
make the change.
} The other problem is that this depends on READNULLCMD being cat.
It depends on READNULLCMD being something that knows when its output
is not a terminal, at least; "less" and "more" both work just as well
as "cat".
} $(<...) always works since it is always recognized as a special command
} substitution. That's why the 2> redirection does not work in that case
Still seems like a bug to me.

}
} It's simply
}
} "${pref}${^${${(f@)$({<${pref}CVS/Entries} 2>/dev/null)}#/}%%/*}"
I thought something like that should work, but I never tried the carat
in that particular spot.

} Are you sure that there is not empty element in the reply?
Why should that make a difference? It still shouldn't output a newline.
} The above `parameter expansion' always produces at least one element.
Here's the behavior I see in a directory that has no CVS subdirectory:
If I replace my `for ... echo' loop with your ${^...} solution above,
then *every* time I hit TAB I get a newline on the terminal, and I
never see any completions. (Your solution works normally in a dir
that *does* have a CVS subdir.)
If I use my `for ... echo' loop, I get a newline the first time I hit
TAB. The second time I hit TAB I get the leading hyphen from the -k
array of option letters, followed by a newline, followed by `A' (the
first option letter). From that point on I get no stray newlines, and
the options cycle normally (though zle is confused if I don't do a
<redisplay> at some point.
If I use your solution with an explicit "cat", I don't get any newlines,
but I also don't get any completions -- not even the -k ones.
If I switch back to an explicit "cat" and use my original `for' loop,
everything works exactly as I would expect -- no stray newlines at all,
and all the expected -k completions appear.
So it has something to do with READNULLCMD, and there's something else
broken about your solution. (Maybe that's where the empty element in
the array is involved?)
