I just realized that the above won't work properly unless one of the k*
forms is the first thing completed.  If _rlogin has already been auto-
loaded, call to _rlogin there is wrong.

It could be written

	[[ $functions[_rlogin] == "builtin autoload -X" ]] &&
	    _rlogin "$@" || $_comps[${words[1]:t}] "$@"

or some such, but that's pretty silly.

So ...

} This gave me the idea of adding one more (probably optional, i.e. not
} used everywhere) level of indirection when mapping a command name to a 
} completion function. So that _rlogin could offer the `services'
} `_rlogin', `_rsh' and whatnot.

This actually sounds like a reasonable idea.  There'd have to be a way
for the #compdef tag line to register all the "services" provided by the
file in which the tag appears.  I still don't see any obvious way to
fully automate this part --

-- but I haven't been thinking about it for very long.
