Because it only works for prefix-completion, so it's a crutch.
The right way to do it is for lisp-completion-at-point function to
determine whether the data at point should/can be a Lisp name or a file
name or both (if it's both, it could use the :exclusive crutch, or it
could combine the completion tables with completion-table-in-turn).
