I'm pretty sure that this is so tightly wrapped up in the internal
workings of any shell that it couldn't be patched in.

I recommend WShell.  It's nowhere near that big (and subsequent shell
invocations are nice and small), and the file completion is spectacular.

It has lots of other great features, and is excellent overall.
WShell is a reasonably-priced commercial product.  It does not require
ARexx, but complements it wonderfully if present.
