+#compdef tar
+
+# Tar completion.  Features:
+#  - Tries to collect tar commands from second position, single letter
+#    option, and long options.
+#  - `tar' can be called anything, will use the correct name
+#  - Uses the function `_tar_archive' to complete archive files.
+#  - Tries to find out if compressed archives should be used.
+#  - Completes files inside archive.  This is supposed to look pretty
+#    much as if the files are in an ordinary directory hierarchy.
+#    Handles extraction from compressed archives (GNU tar).
+#  - Anywhere -- appears, gets a list of long options to complete from
+#    tar itself (GNU tar)
+#  - Things like --directory=... are also completed correctly.
