Complaining about "fir<TAB>" not exclusively tab completing to "firefox"
is a bit silly IMHO.  What if you have firestarter or firstaidkit (just
to name a couple) installed?  Would you complain if either was added to
the desktop install because you couldn't type "fir<TAB>" and get
firefox?

Yes, tab completion is great, and I've used it for many years in many
incarnations.  I've learned to adapt to a changing set of installed
programs.  Also, I consider completion more useful for arguments than
commands.
