This is likely to be saner, if it works.  compfiles was written to
replace an uncocumented chunk of _path_files with an equivalently
undocumented chunk of optimised C.

If you actually need more features of file completion, which you
probably don't as the user doesn't ultimately see the result as a file
match, going through _path_files would probably be less insane than
compfiles.
