This works for me, and I think it makes sense overall. It might be nice 
to add the ability to ignore remote file names in Eshell when completing 
an argument to an external command (which doesn't understand Tramp 
syntax), but that would probably require a bunch of work on the Eshell 
side, and we can worry about that later, I think.
