Certainly, but I don't think the middle of a completion is one of the
times we'd want to allow it to change?

I think there'd still only be two modes, sane and user-defined.  There
isn't any reason I can think of for sane and zle to be distinct.  But
right now we store only sane mode in the global, so to make this work
we'd need to remember user-defined mode as well.
