ignore-line style and filenames containing spaces



ignore-line style doesn't work properly if an argument contains
spaces in it:

$ zstyle ':completion:*:*:ls:*' ignore-line other
$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
$ touch 'a b'
$ ls a\ b <tab>            # a\ b is offered again
$ rm a\ b <tab>            # a\ b is not offered

_rm has its own mechanism for ignoring the filenames already on
the common line. In the patch below, I copied this method into
_description. (In the case of _description what we are completing
may not be filenames, but I hope using the same method as _rm would
cause no problem.)
I also added '|' to the list of the characters to be escaped.
Otherwise, we would get:

$ touch 'x|y'
$ rm x\|y <tab>           # x\|y is offered again


Actually, my first try was the following:

    line=( ${line//(#m)\\[\[\]()\\*?#<>~\^\|]/\\\\$MATCH} )

This escapes the special characters only if they are already
escaped on the command line. If I use this, then

$ touch f.c f.h
$ rm f.* <tab>           # f.c and f.h are not offered

I thought this was better than the current behavior (f.c and f.h
are offered again), but then I have found that a pattern with
glob qualifiers causes a problem:

$ touch fox              # fox is not executable
$ rm f*(x) <tab>         # fox is NOT offered

so I gave up adding patterns like f.* as is (i.e., without
escaping *) into the array passed to the -F option of _files.
