> ERC should could set pcomplete-remote-ignore to t, as I have proposed

Not sure if ERC's pcomplete ever completes file names, to be honest.

Yes, it's OK.  I was just pointing out that pcomplete doesn't
specifically have anything to do with (completion of) file names, so the
new variable is not really relevant to "pcomplete proper" but only to
the set of defaults that are provided along with pcomplete.
The name might try and reflect that a bit more, e.g. by including
"file" somewhere.
