I do M-x shell and TAB (comint-dynamic-complete) needs help to get it
to show choices:
ESC x s h e l l RET l s SPC TAB TAB TAB TAB TAB TAB . / TAB

That's for filenames.  For command names also one needs to help it
along with a letter or something.

It would be reasonable to make this work like TAB in Bash
in the same circumstances.  That seems to do nothing when typed
the first time, and display a list of all completions when
typed a second time consecutively.  I'm not going to work on this
myself, but I wouldn't be opposed if someone wants to do it.
