Urgh.

1. The doubled `option-...' doesn't bother me a lot, that's just
   _arguments using the only sensible thing it knows about as the
   tag.  Users can always use `:completion:...:*'.
2. The doubled description is the real problem.  There is no action in
   the spec for --font.  So the faked matches get added under that
   default description mentioned above and later _arguments uses
   message to add the explanation it always adds for an empty action
   in a spec.  And that's the reason why the C code doesn't put the
   two groups together, which was irritating me before I looked.

Hrm.  I've got to think some more about this, or maybe someone else
has ideas?
