Ok, I take it that the original patch is meant as a small step in making
it a usable state, by not adding useless "quoted SP". In the ideal world
it may be better to add SP but we do not know how without zsh interfering
with our attempt to do so and adding an unwanted quoting, so we are taking
the second best approach that we at least know works.

Which is fine by me, and as you said, the completion script always asked
zsh users to add SP themselves, so it is not even a regression.

The real reason I am continuing this thread is to keep it alive so that a
zsh guru would jump in from somewhere and show us "here is how to tell Zsh
not to quote $suffix"; that does not seem to be happening yet, so let's
use your patch as-is.
