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@.
