However, I think even that is overkill -- there isn't anything that

should set $IPREFIX to the drive path.

Works, thank you!

Hm, I'd like to see ^X? (completion debugging) output for that,
because it might be related to the attempt to match
case-insensitively.

Here's the output for /c/Win which works: https://gist.github.com/cool-RR/fdd1425e36552868b2424fb86ab132f4

Here's the output for /c/Windows/Sys which fails: https://gist.github.com/cool-RR/ad525df593f60ab11024fcb33fbed127
