Oh, I'm not arguing in favor of the current implementation. I just
thought it might be useful to mention the setup I've made for myself
that works decently well.

I used to do that but then switched to my current setup where the ssh

really like the ability to list all machines with a TAB. That said, I
can imagine environments where this kind of setup isn't possible.
