Actually, completion styles don't know whether they're completing file
names or not and don't really know that "/" is special in file name syntax.
This is done by `completion-file-name-table` instead. This one, in turn
tries not to pay attention to "/" either, and to rely on file-name
functions instead (e.g. `file-name-directory`).

Tramp could also influence the completion behavior via the other
file-name functions.
E.g. defining (file-name-directory "/ssh:foo") => "/ssh:" could fix some
of the flex completion cases discussed here.
[ Note: I'm not actually suggesting that this is the solution.
It would likely come with its own set of problems. ]
