I agree. It's the most powerful way.

Thanks.  Now compadd -P is useful even in these cases.  But I found
similar problem about compset -P.

Z:akr@is27e1u11% Src/zsh -f
is27e1u11% bindkey -e; autoload -U compinit; compinit -D; compdef _tst tst
is27e1u11% _tst () { compset -P '\*' && compadd xxx } 
is27e1u11% tst \*<TAB>

This completes nothing.

is27e1u11% _tst () { compset -P '\\\*' && compadd xxx }   
is27e1u11% tst \*<TAB>

This completes nothing, too.

If compset -P tries to match against unquoted form of prefix, former
should complete xxx.  If it tries to match against quoted form, latter
should complete xxx.  But both completes nothing.
