One logical way to handle this (if .../foo is in $fpath) is that the
digest file is treated as a cache of the directory in the same way that
individual wordcode files cache individual text files.  So if autoloading
`bar' from that $fpath entry, zsh would date-compare (a) .../foo/bar (text
file), (b) .../foo/bar.zwc (individual wordcode), and (c) .../foo.zwc
(entry for `bar' in digest file), and use the newest of the three.

I'm not necessarily recommending this, it's just something to think about.
