Indeed, even if Makefile didn't exist there, it should occur. Therefore, upon TAB, just expand things before point. I guess. I wonder if doing that would detract from any present functionality? We could always put the cursor at the end of line, where it usually is, if we want the current behavior. Seems good for everything, not only filenames. Gee, only 30 seconds of thought and I came up with another big breakthrough. You guys double check for me if this is all wise. "Don't CC me, it's all over my head."
