It's late at night and I'm tired and stupid, I should have thought of trying
that sooner.  Yes, the invisible apears and then is overwritten by the
command prompt just as I wrote.

I've been a zsh user for almost 20 years now.  Yowza.

Reason #311 for loving zsh:  zcomp.  When programs conform to Gnu
command line style for --help, zsh TAB completion will use it and you
can complete on command line options as well as files.
