A command line like the following makes bash-1.02 very confused:

$ for i in *
> do
> ^I           <--- I typed a tab here hoping to indent.  In any case,
Bash just sat there, seemingly ignoring input, until I typed ctrl-C.

Maybe M-Tab should be the command completion character instead of 
just Tab, to avoid confusion?
