remote files completion for scp

["Michał Politowski" <mpol@charybda.icm.edu.pl>]

I believe that this completion needs something, maybe dequoting like this, to work correctly.
Without this it can't complete any remote path segments after one with
spaces, with the change it works for me.

One other thing. I obviously don't understand something about quoting.
Why with foo='a\string\with\some\backslashes'
echo "${foo//'\'/-}"
and
echo "${foo//"\\"/-}"
work but
echo "${foo//\\/-}"
doesn't do any substitutions,
no matter how many backslashes do I actually put in the last one?
