I've installed a patch in Emacs CVS which activates hostname
completion only when partial-completion-mode is enabled. In its
current definition, partial-completion-mode isn't related to remote
files, but it was the best place I could imagine to use.
Introducing a new customer option instead is still an alternative, and
I'm open to this when there is such a request.
Extracting hostname completion code from Tramp still seems to be too
complex to me. Maybe we can do it later with Tramp 2.1; performing it
now would destabilize Tramp I fear.
Best regards, Michael.
