With
  zstyle '*' format %d
it says 'file', so you're on the right track.

This appears to handle
% echo ${ .<TAB>
and
% echo ${ . <TAB>
correctly (at least in so far as they ever were), so I think this is fine.

RE "in so far as they ever were",
% echo ${<ctl-x h>
fails to report any completion context, and
% echo ${ <ctl-x h>
reports context for "echo" as if the "${" were not there.
