But it explicitly uses $fignore when the pattern is `*'. And it works
for me with `zsh -f', setting $fignore and doing `ls <TAB>'.

Could you give me an example where it fails to do what you want?

It's apparently this style that's causing me trouble:

    zstyle ':completion:*' file-sort modification reverse

If _path_files is going to check for a pattern of `*', it needs to do so
with any globbing flags first stripped off.  Ouch.

3.1.7-pre-1: fignore is mishandled by _files

[Bart Schaefer]

_path_files attempts to use $fignore, but only if no -g options were passed.
However, _files *always* passes a -g option to _path_files, so in the one
case where one might expect fignore to work without extra configuration --
default file completions -- it fails to do so.
