It won't work in this form; it needs at least ${(@qqq)... and in other
branch. Still even with the following:

if zstyle -s ":completion:${curcontext}:${1}" command tmp; then
  if [[ "$tmp" = -* ]]; then
    eval "$tmp[2,-1]" "${(qqq)argv[2,-1]}"
  else
    eval "$tmp"
  fi
else
  eval "${(@qqq)argv[2,-1]}"
fi


I get 

+_info:27> info=( _call_program info info -d $PWD/a b ) 
+_info:29> items=+_info:1> _call_program info info -d $PWD/a b --output
-
+_call_program:3> local tmp

+_call_program:12> eval "info" "-d" "\$PWD/a b" "--output" "-"

Remember, (qqq) _quotes_ arguments (using different rules but it does
not matter).

Actually I begin to feel that _arguments should eval parameter value
before storing it. Can anybody give example when parameter value as it
appears on command line is useful?
