+The completion system now has a style path-completion.  Setting this to
+false inhibits completion of paths before the current path component,
+e.g. /u/b/z no longer completes to /usr/bin/zsh.  This is useful on systems
+where this form of completion is pathologically slow due to network
+performance.
