RE: tab and variable

<tab> works off the contents of your current location. Expecting it to pay
attention to the current contents of PowerShell variables is probably a bit
much. I think it's really impressive that you can do this, though:-
cd hkcu: <enter>
cd <tab>, <tab>, <tab>, <tab>, <tab>,
and have it iterate through the contents of the HKCU drive.

I would say that the PowerShell team have gone far enough integrating with
the current Cmd.exe-style window, and in future releases it would be nice to
see them using their own windowed environment. What they have done thus far
(e.g. the example above) is damn impressive as it is.
