Hi,

I realize that we maintain a bash completion script, and a thin wrapper around it for ZSH. However, I don't understand why we maintain it, because there's a comprehensive first-class completer in ZSH core [1] which I use all the time. Shouldn't the completion folks be contributing to this instead?

Thanks.
