We need an alternate index into the help doc.s for stuff like this that's too useful not to know. This falls under the category of "I read that section, but it didn't register in my brain". Sadly, I suspect you'd need a digest for every help page :-/
More questions: the 'path' option seems to allow even more interesting stuff, but only for 'gf' and the like. Is there a way to have the :e ...<tab> completion use the 'path'? It would be cool to have dual upward/downward recursive completion (although I can't seem to get it to work as I expected with 'gf' either).
