Presumably this is kind of related to the EQUALS option, but for completion. Also, for these particular options, then the brand new -/ flag is better than the -f flag, since these are all supposed to be directories. (Or it will be, once everybody has a zsh which supports "-/".) This would be nice for commands like make, too, where make variable assignments are often filenames (not necessarily directory names, though). Or can this be done easily already?
