I think it would be useful.

For zsh, perhaps?

As I understand the main issues with using the completion script with
zsh are the various little incompatibilities between the two shells
and bugs in zsh's emulation of Bash's completion-related builtins.
Running the completion script under Bash and using its results in zsh
would solve these issues at the root.  And would allow as to remove
some if [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION-} ]] code.
