How about

compctl -g '*(-/x)' + -g '*(D-/x)' cd

i.e., try normal globbing first, and if that fails, try again allowing
dot files.

I'd like to implement the ability to do this directly.  I'd like some
way for completion functions to reinvoke the compctl mechanism to
provide it with an array of completions using a normal compctl recipe,
so it could implement more extravagant conditional completions and do
tweaks that a plain compctl can't.  Is this a good idea?
