Oh, i realised with your *very* first suggestion, the quoting wouldn't be
quite as bad:

  '--foo=[specify foo]: :_my_type -Y-a -Y"my optarg" -Y-bcd'

Though it's certainly strange in a different way.

It would be cool if there was a convenient way to just have a general prefix
for options, so that this kind of thing would work:

  '--foo=[specify foo]: :_my_type -Ya "my optarg" -Ybcd'

(The point being that (a) you don't have to repeat the hyphens and (b) it
knows that "my optarg" is an argument to the type function's -a.)

Maybe zparseopts could be extended to do that somehow, if it's not too silly
of an idea.
