That was the intention behind the original email.

I just noticed that there are potential side effects in the completionsand wanted to bring that up.


Just a initial search results in these completions using cd:
	Completion/Unix/Command/_ant
	Completion/Unix/Command/_surfraw
	Completion/Unix/Type/_urls
	Completion/Unix/Type/_ssh_hosts
	Completion/Zsh/Command/_cd

Thank you, I was searching for the correct guard to achieve this.
