Tab Completion Question.

[zak@xxxxxxxxx]

Is there a way to build pattern matching into compctl lists?

Here's what I'm trying to do.  In my .zshrc I have the following set.

hosts=(foo.bar)
compctl -k hosts ssh 

I would like to be able to set the hosts variable to match for different
usernames.  So that the following command would tab complete:

ssh root@xxxxxxx

I would imagine that you would do this by setting something like:

hosts=([root@]foo.bar)

but that doesn't work at all.  

Of course I can always set something like

hosts=(foo.bar root@xxxxxxx)

but in reality I have TONS of hosts listed for the hosts= variable and creating
two entries for all of them would be a pain...  And eventually I would like to
be able to automatically parse my DNS condiguration files for this list...

Any ideas?

Thanks!
