But you don't care about one logical commit per zsh-workers sequence
number?  I mean, I'm not unreasonably sticky about it, but I try to
keep it that way.

} _comps[x] being already defined in what sense?  I can think of three

That sense.

The point being that if we're going to bother defining "compexists"
then maybe we ought to use it instead of (( ${+functions[_name]} )).
It couldn't replace all such tests, since in most cases those are
"helper" functions rather than values in $_comps, but perhaps some.

I'm trying to find a metric for usefulness.
