Of course, it can. We only need someone who writes it.
Hm. I guess it understands that everywhere, yes? Not only in words
starting with `?:/'. Otherwise someone could write something in _first
to call `_files -W ...' if the current word starts with that.
If it understand this in `-foo=d:/...', then we need support in
_path_files, but that would be possible (stuff it into prepath, etc
etc...). But only when on cygwin, of course, probably only if the
style support-cygwin(-s-rotten-paths-urgh) is set.

Yes. The other stuff might be useful elsewhere. I've no idea how many
(poor) people (are forced to) use cygwin?
