} It should then immediately return, too (to really avoid calling all
} that completion code).
Actually, it does return immediately, because of:
if [[ "$compstate[insert]" = tab* && "$WIDGET" != *list* ]]; then
{ zstyle -T ":completion:${curcontext}:" insert-tab &&
{ [[ "$curcontext" != :* || -z "$compstate[vared]" ]] ||
zstyle -t ":completion:vared${curcontext}:" insert-tab } } && return 0
Which reminds me to wonder why insert-tab is tested for *not* being set,
at that point?

} How about a parameter flag, the opposite of `X', but used for `e' to
} make it ignore parse errors and return an empty string in such cases?
}
} Or make `e' not report errors normally and use `X' for `e', too, to
} make it report errors?
I'd forgotten about (X); yes, I think the latter (have (e) ignore errors
unless (X) is given) is the right solution.
It doesn't even have to ignore the errors silently; redirecting 2> is fine.
It just has to not abort the surrounding parse.
