Yes you are :)  Classes derived from KCompletion can override the
virtual makeCompletion() slot and implement their own completion schemes.
In fact, that is what KURLCompletion (not the one currently in kdelibs but the
one Carsten is working on) does.  It can autocomplete both local and remote
directories using KIOJob (using the directory listings).  But it will not be
until after KRASH especailly since there is now some debate/discussion on how
to make I/O as fast as possible ....
