Because list-colors and show-ambiguity, like most of the "menu" styles,
are just alternate interfaces to the base functionality from complist. as
implemented by LS_COLORS, et al.

The zstyle mechanism is not interpreted anywhere internally, it's just
a different namespace for storing things and looking them up.
