The problem with any shell-function-based solution is that it requires a
special case for the `localoptions' setting.

Better, perhaps, would be to augment the _comp_options variable with a
_comp_setup variable, which would look something like this:

    _comp_setup='setopt ${_comp_options[@]} localtraps;
		 exec </dev/null;
		 trap - ZERR'

and then `eval' that variable in any function that is an entry point into
the completion system.
