I think maybe a better solution is for completion in shell commands
*not* to use this list. It was designed to filter out files that you
wouldn't want to read with find-file. But when you're specifying
filename arguments to shell commands, the set of useful files is
dependent on the command you're applying to them. If it's a basic
command like mv or rm, there's no reason to filter out anything.
