There's no zstyle for this, so the _directory_stack function has to be
edited.

The question is whether a style should be added, or whether the patch
below should simply become the default behavior.

One approach would be to change "verbose" from a boolean to a ternary 
value where the third value means "yes" and also chooses whether to
apply the (D) flag.  E.g.,

zstyle ':completion:*:directory-stack' verbose long

We could also add a keyword for whether to apply the :A modifier to
resolve symbolic links.

Other suggested approaches?
