I use this function to allow completion from cdpath of all files (or at
least those files that are following the default completion), so for
example

alpha11-~/private% echo $cdpath
./ /u/pol1b/oma1000/
alpha11-~/private% cd<tab>
cv/       eric/     igor/     letters/  rm/
alpha11-~/private% ls -d ~/*(/)
/u/pol1b/oma1000/LaTeX/         /u/pol1b/oma1000/mail/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/Mail/          /u/pol1b/oma1000/misc/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/News/          /u/pol1b/oma1000/nsmail/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/apps/          /u/pol1b/oma1000/pc/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/carol/         /u/pol1b/oma1000/private/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/cerius/        /u/pol1b/oma1000/public_html/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/data/          /u/pol1b/oma1000/teaching/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/diagrams/      /u/pol1b/oma1000/tensile/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/instructions/  /u/pol1b/oma1000/theory/
/u/pol1b/oma1000/local/         /u/pol1b/oma1000/unit-cells/
alpha11-~/private% cd m<tab>  [the m then gets changed to ~/m]
~/mail/  ~/misc/

Hope this makes sense!
