As I've said, I am aware that the root of my problems seems to be a design

I can tell you. It doesn't solve my original problem, which is that
BLA=/usr:/us<COMPLETE>
doesn't complete the /us after the ":". Your file-completion doesn't do
that either. bash does, though and I've grown used to this feature and
don't want to miss it.
