RE: tab and variable

I think by saying '<tab> works off the contents of your current location' is
correct, but the fact is the PS' tab-completion is worth more than that, I
believe you can enter:
hkcu:<tab>
without being in hkcu drive.

So PS is already pay attention to previous token, so by substition env.
variable, I don't know, maybe you are right, 'a bit too much'
