Wouldn't it be nice if mkdir completion completed _path_files instead
of _path_files -/? I sometimes find myself wanting to create a
directory with a slight variation of a name of a file. Is there any
harm in completing files as well as directories for mkdir?

If you're tab-completing a long path through several intermediate
directories where some of those directories have a lot of plain files,
you end up with a lot of useless names to wade through in the menus at
each completion step.
One could, I suppose, arrange to add the plain files to the ignored
list for mkdir so they'd only be completed when no directories are
possible matches.
