It's a new feature because it will have to be customizable. I don't
want my shell buffers auto-complete with backslashes, and I'm sure I'm
not the only one.

That's a different problem, because I could type the full command
"dir foo/bar" without using auto-completion, and it would still fail.
It could be solved in cmdproxy, for example. If you have time to work
on this, please do.

It isn't safe enough for this time.

Only those that don't run the risk of introducing more complex bugs.
