I think the cnoremap only maps 'B' to expand to "b */" if it's at the
start of the commandline. But what's "b */" supposed to do? I added
this mapping and then typed "deep" (so the whole commandline became "b
*/deep" and then pressed tab. It didn't do anything. No completion.

Could you explain the logic behind "anchored to the directory
separator"?

Note that I also tried "b *\" and "b *\\" since I'm in Windows.
