It occurred to me somewhat later that, even with "autoload -U", an alias
*would* be expanded during an "eval". So we could put this:
alias _comp_setopt='setopt nullglob rcexpandparam extendedglob unset \
no{markdirs,globsubst,shwordsplit,shglob,ksharrays,cshnullglob}'
into compinit, and then in the completion functions like _main_complete:
eval _comp_setopt localoptions
Another choice (still in compinit) would be simply to stuff the desired
options into an array:
_comp_setopts=(nullglob rcexpandparam extendedglob unset
no{markdirs,globsubst,shwordsplit,shglob,ksharrays,cshnullglob})
and then reference them:
setopt localoptions $_comp_setopts
I guess I slightly prefer the latter, since we're already cluttering the
parameter space with completion stuff and I'd rather stay out of the alias
space, but either one would be OK.
