I'm a long time zsh user, but AFAIK zsh has fairly simple
completion support. You can program the completion system à la
pcomplete (i.e. to instruct zsh which completion table to use for the
various args of the commands you use), but the completion itself is only
using prefix completion and/or cycling in my experience.
If there's more to it, I'd love to hear about it (admittedly, I haven't
looked at zsh's doc in recent years so I may have missed such new
features).
