Re: <Tab> completion does not insert a slash

Ok, my suspicion is that the problem occurs if the completed name can
expand to both a named directory and a local directory.

My directory structure:
/workdirs/projects/myproject/src/python/mymodule/submodule

# Define a named directory
src=/workdirs/projects/myproject/src
: src

# cd inside the tree
cd /workdirs/projects/myproject

# try to go deeper
cd sr<Tab>      # completes 'sr' to 'cd src' (without a slash)
cd src<Tab>    # another tab - emits a bell sound
cd src<Tab>    # yet another tab - add a slash: 'src/'

It seems like the completion engine cannot choose between the named
directory and a local directory of the same name. In reality, they point to
the same dir.

Is there a way to fix this behavior?
I'm using a lot of named directories, they are very convenient. In fact,
they are the main reason I switched to zsh.
