Sorry, it perhaps wasn't wise. I'm away myself for a few weeks and wanted to get it done before leaving. I've got a big mess of half-finished completion functions and having cleaned up a few wanted them out of the way.

Possibly, though not sure it is much better. There's already an _delimiters which is unrelated. It also wouldn't be quite accurate if it gains a -w option like _values. I also considered _repeated.
