I have already implemented this and it will appear in SKsh 1.4 (due
in late March).  It also allows, among other things, completion on 
device names, and a supplied script (in Stuff.sksh) allows completion
on files inside of .zoo archives (the script can be extended to handle
.arc and .lzh archives as well).
