Re: cd /u/N/v/ tab expansion

Apparently compadd uses the $SUFFIX env behind the scene...

compadd -Qf -J argument-rest -X %Bfiles%b -J globbed-files \
	-M m:{a-z}={A-Z} -M m:{a-z}={A-Z} -p a/ -W a/	\
	-M r:|/=* r:|=* - b1/d/e2/g

...and THIS doesn't work with SUFFIX="*/d/e/g*" - therefore I did:


-             compadd "$tmp4[@]" $listopts - "$i"
+             compadd "$tmp4[@]" -U $listopts - "$i"


Actually I might have an idea why the original code doesn't work - see,
the "*/d/e/g*" is a pattern... that doesn't assume "e*" for "e2" part.

My original invocation wasn't a pattern, but "a/b/d/e/g" that was about
to be completed with the list-suffixes style as "containing multiple
partially typed pathname components"; however, the glob_complete sets
the compstate[pattern_match] which results in: "wildcard '*' is assumed at
the cursor position".

So, the correct solutions seem to be one of two (or maybe both):
1. either use the compadd -U flag as above or
2. properly mangle the SUFFIX (the 'g' global flag for substitution)

-            [[ -n "$compstate[pattern_match]" ]] && SUFFIX="${SUFFIX:s./.*/}*"
+            [[ -n "$compstate[pattern_match]" ]] && SUFFIX="${SUFFIX:gs./.*/}*"


The second solution doesn't play well with add-space style:

$ ls a/b/d/e/g[tab]
b1/d/e1/g/  b1/d/e2/g/  b2/d/e1/g/  b2/d/e2/g/

[ctrl-g]
$ ls a/b/d/e/g[tab]
$ ls a/b1/d/e1/ /g
               ^ cursor position
b1/d/e1/  b1/d/e2/  b2/d/e1/  b2/d/e2/

[ctrl-g]
$ ls a/b/d/e/g[tab]
b1/d/e1/g/  b1/d/e2/g/  b2/d/e1/g/  b2/d/e2/g/

and so on, over and over again.

$ zstyle -d :completion:\* add-space
$ ls a/b/d/e/g[tab]
$ ls a/b1/d/e1//g
b1/d/e1/  b1/d/e2/  b2/d/e1/  b2/d/e2/


Both of the solutions also seem to fix the list-dirs-first true issue!
