These technical changes seem fine, but I haven't looked in detail. But
I want to say that I don't like this proposed behavior change at all. I
don't think tab completion should filter out by things that are probably
not interesting or useful depending on session state. That could be
very confusing, especially since there is no surface to explain this
anywhere. The obvious extreme case is that RESET in a fresh session
wouldn't offer any completions at all.
