+
+# A simple compiler for _arguments descriptions. The first argument of
+# _arg_compile is the name of an array parameter in which the parse is
+# returned. The remaining arguments form a series of `phrases'. Each
+# `phrase' begins with one of the keywords "argument", "option", or "help"
+# and consists of a series of keywords and/or values. The syntax is as
+# free-form as possible, but "argument" phrases generally must appear in
+# the same relative position as the corresponding argument on the command
+# line to be completed, and there are some restrictions on ordering of
+# keywords and values within each phrase.
+#
+# Anything appearing before the first phrase or after the last is passed
+# through verbatim. (See TODO.) If more detailed mixing of compiled and
+# uncompiled fragments is necessary, use two or more calls, either with
+# different array names or by passing the output of each previous call
+# through the next.
+#
+# In the documentation below, brackets [ ] indicate optional elements and
+# braces { } indicate elements that may be repeated zero or more times.
+# Except as noted, bracketed or braced elements may appear in any order
+# relative to each other, but tokens within each element are ordered.
+#
+# argument [POS] [means MSG] [action ACT]
+#
+# POS may be an integer N for the Nth argument or "*" for all, and
+# must appear first if it appears at all.
+# MSG is a string to be displayed above the matches in a listing.
+# ACT is (currently) as described in the compsys manual.
+#
+# option OPT [follow HOW] [explain STR] {unless XOR} \
+# {[means MSG] [action ACT]} [through PAT [means MSG] [action ACT]]
+#
+# OPT is the option, prefixed with "*" if it may appear more than once.
+# HOW refers to a following argument, and may be one of:
+# "close" must appear in the same word (synonyms "join" or "-")
+# "next" the argument must appear in the next word (aka "split")
+# "loose" the argument may appear in the same or the next word ("+")
+# "assign" as loose, but must follow an "=" in the same word ("=")
+# HOW should be suffixed with a colon if the following argument is
+# _not_ required to appear.
+# STR is to be displayed based on compconfig[describe_options].
+# XOR is another option in combination with which OPT may not appear.
+# It may be ":" to disable non-option completions when OPT is present.
+# MSG is a string to be displayed above the matches in a listing.
+# ACT is (currently) as described in the compsys manual.
+# PAT is either "*" for "all remaining words on the line" or a pattern
+# that, if matched, marks the end of the arguments of this option.
+# The "through PAT ..." description must be the last.
+# PAT may be suffixed with one colon to narrow the $words array to
+# the remainder of the command line, or with two colons to narrow
+# to the words before (not including) the next that matches PAT.
+#
+# help PAT [means MSG] action ACT
+#
+# ACT is applied to any option output by --help that matches PAT.
+# Do not use "help" with commands that do not support --help.
+# PAT may be suffixed with a colon if the following argument is
+# _not_ required to appear (this is usually inferred from --help).
+# MSG is a string to be displayed above the matches in a listing.
+
+# EXAMPLE:
+# This is from _gprof in the standard distribution. Note that because of
+# the brace expansion trick used in the "function name" case, no attempt
+# is made to use `phrase' form; that part gets passed through unchanged.
+# It could simply be moved to the _arguments call ahead of "$args[@]".
+#
+# _arg_compile args -s -{a,b,c,D,h,i,l,L,s,T,v,w,x,y,z} \
+# -{A,C,e,E,f,F,J,n,N,O,p,P,q,Q,Z}:'function name:->funcs' \
+# option -I means directory action _dir_list \
+# option -d follow close means "debug level" \
+# option -k means "function names" action '->pair' \
+# option -m means "minimum execution count" \
+# argument means executable action '_files -g \*\(\*\)' \
+# argument means "profile file" action '_files -g gmon.\*' \
+# help '*=name*' means "function name" action '->funcs' \
+# help '*=dirs*' means "directory" action _dir_list
+# _arguments "$args[@]"
+
+# TODO:
+# Verbose forms of various actions, e.g. (but not exactly)
+# "state foo" becomes "->foo"
+# "completion X explain Y ..." becomes "((X\:Y ...))"
+# etc.
+# Represent leading "*" in OPT some other way.
+# Represent trailing colons in HOW and PAT some other way.
+# Stricter syntax checking on HOW, sanity checks on XOR.
+# Something less obscure than "unless :" would be nice.
+# Warning or other syntax check for stuff after the last phrase.
