Yes, this was a design decision. As I recall the conversation ended
up with something along the lines of "if the user has completed all

something at the end, rather than nothing."
I suspect this does make it somewhat more difficult than it should be
to create zstyles that display files and directories in separate
groups in a completion listing.
