M-TAB should complete to a symbol, IMO. It is quite OK to have / in Lisp
symbol names.

Perhaps some special mode or library such as ffap might provide an option
for M-TAB to interpret possible file names (or URLs or...) instead of
symbols, but I think that M-TAB should simply complete symbols, by default.
