I wonder whether it is expected that completion files are sensitive
to user options.

For instance, the vendor's _journalctl file has:

    '(--directory -D -M --machine --root --file)''--root=[Operate on catalog hierarchy under specified directory]:directories:_directories' \

which fails with RC_QUOTES due to the: ''

My bug report: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4842

This is easily fixable there, but in general, I suppose that not all
external developers who write completion files know all the options.
So, isn't there anything to do on the zsh side?
