I don't know what is intended, but I could imagine doing it differently:
perhaps directories that match the -g pattern should be separated from
directories that don't.  For example, «_files -g "M*"» in the zsh tree
currently lists "Misc" under the "directories" tag along with all other
directories, but instead it could show "Misc" either in a new
"globbed-directories" tag [when list-dirs-first is set], or in the
existing "globbed-files" tag alongside "Makefile.in".
