Bug Description
In my relentless quest for the ultimate tab expansion behaviour, here's another suggestion:
>mkdir AAA
>touch AAA/b
rm -r AA<tab> expands to
>rm -r AAA/b
I think it would be better if that would only get expanded to AAA/, and only to AAA/b after hitting tab a second time. Similarly for other file system commands.

Yes, I think that tab completion should work in this way. When you tab complete on a directory, you should get as the output AAA/
If you then continue, you should get the contents of the directory.
