Huh? Prefix completion for things that share a common prefix just abstracts
away that prefix (by completing to it), so you do not have to type it. The
difference would be that completion would help with the *non*-prefix part.
(I do not have a particular opinion about the rest of what was discussed. Just
pointing out that it is not the case that completion doesn't help much when all
candidates share a common prefix.)
