The solution is for readline completion to refrain from appending the
slash when complieting tto the name of a directory.  The next TAB
should put the slash in, and another TAB should complete names within
the directory (only succesful if there is only one file in the
directory).  

In other words, if I have directory foo and file foo/bar (and nothing
else in foo), the following happens:

type f o TAB
see `foo'
type TAB
see `foo/'
type TAB
see `foo/bar'

Alternatively, the second TAB could be unnecessary.  I don't think I
like that, however.
