That's what my patch does.

Something like this:

  c.() {
    setopt localoptions nocdablevars # if you want that...
    local CDPATH
    cd $*
  }

(Or just use a function that sticks a `./' or `$PWD/' in front of the
first argument and then calls cd if that's enough for you.)

Completion for that:

  compdef c.=cd

This says that arguments for `c.' are to be completed as for `cd'.

  zstyle ':completion:*:*:c.:*' tag-order local-directories

And this says that you want only local directories (those in `.') to be
completed for `c.'.
