>Description:
	I was using ftp, when I accidentally hit tab. Lo and behold, it
	completed a remote filename! Browsing the code, I see that it
	supports fancy context-sensitive filename completion.
	*very* nice!

	I had always just assumed libedit was incapable of doing this
	kind of thing, since sh doesn't do it.  If sh did, I could
	probably dump bash.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Wish /bin/sh supported tab completion of command names, file
	names, variable names, etc, like bash.
>Fix:
	Probably a lot of the code could be taken from ftp.

	This is low-priority to me since I'm already using bash, but if
	someone wants a nice project...
