I must check the code, but IIRC partial-completion-mode is just an
indication for Tramp whether some file name completion functionality
shall be enabled, before Tramp is fully loaded. There were people who
disliked Tramp's file name completion.

If partial-completion-mode will be kicked off, Tramp might need another
indication. Just tell me when it happens, that I can change Tramp.

Just now?
