Yes, that would definitely help. I considered suggesting that after
sending my original message, but couldn't think of a sufficiently
succinct way to put it.

This seems like a case of the tools trying to be too smart. If the
candidate paths offered to zsh are

  src/foo/bar/baz.h
  obj/obj1.0

one would expect that just seeing the leading 's' or 'o' would be
enough to complete the right choice. I'm surprised that zsh /appears/
to splitting the candidates into path components and filtering them
piece-by-piece -- or something like that.
