Yes, but in the following case:

mkdir x
touch x/y x/z
ls x/<TAB>

the completion list for me is:

y z

while your original reply string will be:

:=(#i)(x|)/(#b)(?|)*==4

this won't highlight anything in (y z) since you're matching a full path
that starts with x/.

Because if that works for you, I'm eager to understand how :P
