Just don't "rip out" and modify the completion code. zsh isn't bash - 
use the possibility to modify the way zsh completes. Completing named 
directories is already a change from the default behaviour because zsh 
completes by default only the directories in the current directory and 
the CDPATH.

Have a look at the users' guide for "tag-order"...
