Well, the semantics for completion-ignored-files would be that they
match on file names (i.e., the part after the last "/" if there's any
slashes in there), which sounds like a pretty attractive thing, while
completion-ignored-files would have no anchoring.
completion-ignored-files could be regexps with anchoring, too, but then
we'd have two regexp variables, which seems excessive again. :-/

I like completion-ignored-extensions -- it's clear what it does and easy
to alter both programmatically and for users.
