I'm not sure I understand much of this, but would it make the existing cdpath completion semi-trivial? If that's the kind of thing it's supposed to do, then I'm all in favour---completing for cd directories darn well should be trivial! On the other hand, I can't think of other cases where this would be useful. Anyway, these seem important and useful changes, and I look forward to a release with them in.
