Perhaps add a snippet to enable edit-command-line to that list of suggestions?
It's not a zstyle, but it's asked regularly on IRC.  (I bind it to ^Fc.)

(Also: I like the idea of having such a list — it would nicely bridge the gap
between "keep features off-by-default for backwards compatibility" and "have
helpful features on by default", i.e., "require no configuration in the common
case".)

Indeed, the situation with -g<tab> is much clearer with these settings.  They
also make the nature of the -z file suggestion clearer.  I think that addresses
all my upthread questions, then.

Sorry, forgot to mention explicitly: I was using the default settings provided
by compinstall (autoload compinit && compinit && zstyle :compinstall filename).

Thanks for the detailed replies, Oliver and Bart.
