Yes, I mean that. My version avoids compiler warnings for unknown
symbol completion-styles, when Tramp runs outside GNU Emacs 23.

I'll do so. Wrt autoloading: for some people it makes a difference,
whether Tramp is loaded after typing "/ssh:", or already after typing "/s".

Since partial-completion is enabled by default in completion-styles,
Tramp will always be autoloaded after typing "/s". But people have a
chance to disable this behaviour.
