Oops, I copy-pasted the wrong one. This should be

  nosym() { [[ $REPLY:a == $REPLY:A ]] || typeset -g reply=() }

But anyway, this doesn't really work: */foo(+nosym) also ignores the
cases where "foo" is a symbolic link, while in <dir>/foo, I would want
to ignore only the cases where <dir> is a symbolic link.
