I think \ir can stand on its own. In the patch, the \ir command falls back
to \i behaviour if there's no file being processed currently. So, I think
tab-completion makes sense for this command. And if someone wishes they can
stop using \i altogether and \ir will give them old and new bheaviour
seamlessly.
