doesnt do so here..

it does completion on local file names though, so if you do:

$ whatever whatever:/<PATH><tab>

it will autocomplete based on the local filesystem, so if /<PATH> and 
whatever:/<PATH> match you might get the sense that bash was 
auto-logging into to remote machine and getting dir listing, but it 
isnt.

if yours is, wow.
