} (added in 9880).

So how's this look?  I'm a little worried about "$compstate[quote]" != \"
but that's what was there before, and I don't really understand why I'm
worried (nor why it's there, for that matter; the -z "$compstate[quote]"
test in the next branch makes more sense to me).

One further note about this:  If you complete

	% ls ~notauser/<TAB>
	Completing unknown user `notauser'

If instead you complete

	% var=notadir
	% ls ~notauser/$var/<TAB>
	No matches for `files', `file', or `corrections'

But if you then immediately hit RET, you see

	zsh: no such user or named directory: notauser

Ideally, the code in _path_files would first peel off the ~notauser and
check that for errors, and then discover that the prefix still contains
an expansion and try to shift more of it into linepath and realpath and
check *that* for errors; but I wasn't prepared to do that much violence
to _path_files.

I'll wait for Sven to either commit something or to tell me to go ahead
and commit the following patch (which, BTW, is *instead* of the patch in
13974).
