I'm not sure what was intended, but I can imagine doing it differently:
Currently, list-dirs-first lists all directories in one group and all
matched files that are not directories in another. Instead, it could
have three groups: matched directories, matched non-directories,
unmatched non-directories.
For example, «_files -g "M*"» in the zsh tree could show "Misc", either
in its own group [as the only directory matching the pattern], or under
the globbed-files tag alongside plain files matching that pattern.
(For _files -/, this change would simply mean the 'directories' tag
would be empty and the 'globbed-files' tag would have the matches,
instead of the other way around. But for patterns that match some
directories, the change would be meaningful.)
