As mentioned on #1009, "Tab completion [of paths] only works when using forward slashes, and even then only on paths which do not include spaces (quoted or unquoted)." (@jdmarch) This affects all platforms, but is mostly an issue on Windows.

I had a brief look at the code for this, but it's fairly convoluted, and I don't want to start breaking tab completion just before a release.
