Simply doing that would break the $CDPATH completion we currently have
for cd.  And _longopt isn't really the right thing to do as AFAIK cd
does not have any long options.

I'm not sure I understand correctly what you're looking for (please post
a complete example if my guess is not correct), but it does complete
variable names for me.

$ export mydir=/tmp
$ cd $my<TAB> # completes to "cd $mydir"
