+  # _nix completion is broken. Remove it; _nix provided by the nix
+  # package will be used instead. It is not sufficient to set low
+  # meta.priority below if nix is installed in the system profile and
+  # nix-zsh-completions in an user profile. In that case, the broken
+  # version takes precedence over the good one.
