Yep. Good.

I'll have a look...

_path_files does it's own quoting. With compadd you get the usual
normalised quoted form. You can use -P ' ' or -i ' ' to prepend the
unquoted space, but of course, you'll then get one space per
completion attempt because following completions can't know that the
space came from a previous completion.
