Ok, now it works better... But this is not zsh completion anymore ;) The
dynamic table auto-refresh is nice for people who like icomplete/ido but
it is a different use case and after a while it starts becoming annoying
for quick uses... but this is a personal preference probably.

On the other hand I cannot use the up and down arrows anymore for search
in the history with commands like previous-complete-history-element

There is a detail when completion-format is one-column and it is when
using zcomplete-previous-line-completion, some candidates are not
highlighted... when we go to the last candidate and return... It seems
like the cursor goes at the end of the candidate where the face-cursor
is not set.

I will continue testing.
