There should be a user variable to decide if file name completion pays
attention to names beginning with dot (though they should always be listed
in the *Completions* buffer).  Thus if /foo contains only `bar', hitting TAB
or SPC at /foo/ should get you /foo/bar (or /foo/bar/ if bar is a
directory).
