In shell just the local file names are taken for completion. I don't
know how this is implemented, maybe via pcompletion tables?

In eshell, all file names are good for completion, also remote
ones. This is valid, because "cd /sudo::" is a valid command in
eshell. But this makes the trouble with the completion predicate
`file-directory-p'.
