Of all the impenetrable mysteries in zsh the most inscrutable is 
completion.  There must be, what? a dozen options all chewing on the 
same bone.  My  zshrc has settings imported from somewhere and taken on 
faith, I'm afraid to tinker because you can break something that's only 
going to show up when the moon is full and then you forgot what you 
changed and can't fix it.  I often wonder if some philanthropist at some 
time or other wrote a 'complete guide to completion' so that one might 
confidently know how to control all that.  As usual the power is awesome 
but the skill to use it is hard to obtain.
