The "zplg" is weird. Again to compare what I have:

% zplg
tags in context :completion::complete:zplugin::
    argument-1  (_arguments _zplugin)
    commands    (_describe _zplugin)

When I add -C to _arguments (btw, when to use -C?):

% zpl
tags in context :completion::complete:zplugin::
    argument-1  (_arguments _zplugin)
tags in context :completion::complete:zplugin:argument-1:
    commands  (_describe _zplugin)

With -C:

# zplg unload
tags in context :completion::complete:zplugin::
    argument-rest  (_arguments _zplugin)
tags in context :completion::complete:zplugin:argument-rest:
    plugins  (_zplugin)

No difference. BTW. I above pasted what zsh-5.0.8 and zsh-5.2 gives
(the same outputs)

What zstyle would you do to handle zpl, zplg aliases? I could provide
multiple Zstyles so that no user will be left without colors.

I wish I could understand all this better.
