+# Complete files on remote systems using SSH (and other programs). Needs
+# key-based authentication with no passwords or a running ssh-agent to work.
+#
+# Usage:
+# _remote_files [--no-files] [--no-dirs] -- <cmd> [<cmd options>]
+#
+# Options:
+# - --no-files: don't complete remote files
+# - --no-dirs:  don't complete remote directories
+#
+# Commands:
+# - ssh: Additional options for non-interactive use are automatically added
+#        (see below).
+# - All other commands are used unaltered.
+#
+# Examples:
+# - _remote_files -- ssh
+#   Use ssh to retrieve the remote paths. The "--" is not optional!
+# - _remote_files --no-files -- ssh -2 -p 42
+#   Use ssh with the option -2 and -p 42 to retrieve the remote paths and
+#   complete only directories.
+# - _remote_files -- rsh
+#   Use rsh to retrieve the remote paths.
+
+
+# There should be coloring based on all the different ls -F classifiers.
