I wouldn't say it is a nuisance. You can use the file-patterns style
instead to add glob qualifiers where _files is used for completing

_path_files is used for completing files in this case, however. What we
need to ask is why someone should want to complete non-executable files

in command position. (I assume it may be related to suffix aliases).The

necessary change may then be simple. Or at least it would be if the
whole _autocd, _cd stuff wasn't very complicated.

Maybe I misunderstood the "What we need to ask is why someone shouldwant to complete non-executable files in command position" statement,but what I'm trying to do is have non-executable files which happen tobe in my $path *not* be completed.


Thanks.
