Bash does file and variable name completion.

Is it possible to combine both (and how)? That is, if a string
contains a variable, file name completion should still work.

For ex. $HOME/.bash<TAB> should complete to $HOME/.bash_history and
$HOME/.bashrc

Of course asking $HO/.bash to complete into $HOME/.... is asking for
too much.
