suggested minor improvement to ssh argument parsing

Hi,

I use "ssh" often, and within bash I find it useful to define the IP address in "/etc/hosts" and then use the bash auto-complete feature for the hsot name. For this to work bash needs to see a "@" in front of the host name. This works perfectly for a command like "ssh user@host". However if I want to use the current user by default, I can't get the bash to auto complete the hostname.

My suggestion is to allow ssh to accept the hostname like this "ssh @host" as well as the current "ssh host". This would enable the bash auto-complete function to work.

I hope someone likes this idea enough to make it happen.

Thanks,

John Vincent.
