Is that all\ files or all-files (used in the manual)?

I like that. But the 4th line should probably be:

zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' file-patterns '*(^/):all\ files'

to avoid completing on directories (which can often get recent).

For symbolic links, how can one take into account the target instead
of the link itself?
