That's not one option, it's two:
	-/
	-g '*.(tgz|tar.gz)'

It happens that you can run them together as -/g because -/ doesn't
take any additional arguments.  -/ means "complete filesystem paths."

} However, I would prefer that if some directory has both matching
} files and subdirectories then those files would be first in the
} list of completions and those directories last.

Zsh currently sorts the completion list itself, alphabetically; there
has been discussion of changing this on the developer's list, but at
the moment you can't force files to sort ahead of directories.
