There is one exception: If you type two slashes at the top of the local
part of a remote file name, it behaves like for local file names. That
means, "/ssh:host:// TAB" completes to "/".

I don't remember why we have done this, but for consistency reasons,
"/ssh:host:// TAB" should complete to "/ssh:host:/", and "/ssh:host:///
TAB" should complete to "/".

Opinions?
