Yeah, it's been my experience that, with compadd options, it's usually the
*first* one wins. That's why the list-dirs-first thing is broken; the
_path_files call when that's enabled has gone from this...

  _path_files \
    -J directories -X 'completing directory:' \
    -g '*(-/)' \
    -J argument-rest -X 'completing files:'

... to this...

  _path_files \
    -g '*(-/)' \
    -J argument-rest -X 'completing files:' \
    -J directories -X 'completing directory:'

... and so it never adds that directories group.
