} When I try this patch, I get all my previous cases right except the
} one you mentioned, but also
} ; < : <tab>
} completes files instead of commands now (before, it completed commands
} both with and without the : there, so not more correct in total).

It thinks ":" IS the command.

torch% ; < ls
tags in context :completion::complete:ls::
    argument-rest options  (_arguments _ls)
tags in context :completion::complete:ls:argument-rest:
    globbed-files  (_files _arguments _ls)

(The context for the ":" command is not ideal either since ":" is the
field separator ...)

} PS
} If anyone can get
} for (a b) {<tab>
} to complete commands, that would be nice too :). (this never worked)

I presume you mean without the parens around "a b"?  Otherwise it's not
valid syntax.

As PWS said, this is really a job for a state machine ... and not for a
hack this close to a release if it's something that hasn't ever worked.
