I thought about it, too, but decided against it because:

- cdpath is special: if empty or unset, `.' is used
- in other cases you will have no tests, if the array containing the
  dirs is empty you probably won't want the files in `.'; I use `-W'
  only for `cd', so I'm not sure what people would like to have here
  (producing no matches due to an empty `-W'-array looked like a good
  hint that something went wrong); I could be convinced otherwise,
  though (the only other place where `-W' is currently used is `_mh'
  which I don't use (since I don't use `mh'), so I have to ask: would
  the automatic-use-current-dir behavior be correct there?)

Yes, thanks.
