Yes, and I can see that it is annoying that if you use a variable
it breaks completion on what follows.

A patch is attached. _normal is not flexible enough to adapt to this
case so this is fairly manual. It also needs a certain amount of special
care over $curcontext.

This patch handles that in a fairly rudimentary manner. I also noted
that it is not applicable with -l or -v. There are probably more option
exclusions that could be applied to them.

It also adds the -N/--no-update option which must be new since _sudo was
last updated. extended_glob is in _comp_options so setting that
explicitly was superfluous.
