Unfortunately PowerShell doesn't support this out of the box. I already
filed a bug about it...
But you can implement it yourself by modifying the definition of the
TabExpansion function. Or, rather, you can use other people's tab
expansion scripts. I know I've seen one posted to this newsgroup that
does variable expansion and a number of other things...
Perhaps somebody can reply with a link to the script, or perhaps you can
post a new thread asking about the community's tab expansion addons.
