I'd say that's a bit of an edge case. Consider editing a file named README, index.html, .htaccess, or any number of other files which occur in many places with the same name.


Actually, that could still work:

  > in<TAB>
  index.html@.
  init.sh@..
  index.html@foobar@..
  ...
  inputrc@etc@/
The problem I see is this makes it hard to have domain-specific or optional address interpretation. Eg "foo.png=FILE?get@example.com[http]" or... something to that effect.

Come to think of it, that also breaks option escaping in glob et al:

  ./--kill=everything
  vs
  --kill=everything@.
