I totally agree with the patch, but only because I read a couple of
reports that users were struggling with this. Maybe add a couple of
reference points to the commit message, to describe how easy it is to
miss the fact that it needs to be a _file_, not a directory, and also
describe how `zsh` tells you that there is a problem (even if it does
not report a problem, that's a valuable piece of information for the
commit message).

Thanks,
Johannes
