# This is intended to be used as a completer function after the normal
# completer as in: `zstyle ":completion:::::" completer _complete _match'.
# It temporarily switches on pattern matching, allowing you to try 
# completion on patterns without having to setopt glob_complete.
#
# Note, however, that this is only really useful if you don't use the
# expand-or-complete function because otherwise the pattern will
# be expanded using globbing.
