bug#74944: 31.0.50; Double TAB does not pop up *Completions* buffer when completing filename with dashes

[Visuwesh]

When completing filenames with dashes in them inside a shell-buffer,
double TAB does not pop open the *Completions* buffer because it
conflicts with argument completion.  To reproduce,

    1. cd /tmp
    2. mkdir test; cd test
    3. touch blah_blah-pos-1.xyz; touch wowow-pos-1.xyz
    4. Go to this directory in a shell buffer
    5. Type rm pos.xyz TAB
    6. Observe how it completes to `rm -pos-1.xyz'
    7. Press TAB again and observe *Completions* buffer not popping up

I expect Emacs to fall back to completing filenames when completing
against arguments fail.  The current situation is a bit confusing (and
annoying) when completing filenames like these.

Hi Visuwesh,

I can reproduce this.  FWIW, by instrumenting
`shell-filename-completion' with edebug, I can see that there is a
correct *Completions* buffer at some point but it "disappears" later.
I'll try to investigate it further.

Hi,

I did some more tests but this issue is tricky for me and I'm not
familiar with the completion framework.  Anyway, here is what I did (and
think I understood):

        - First, I instrument `shell-filename-completion' with edebug
        
        - I enter "rm -pos-1.xyz" and hit Tab with the point is right
          after the 'z'

        - Edebug is trigerred and I can step through it hitting Space.

        - All seems fine, but at the end of this
          `shell-filename-completion' call (which returns something),
          Edebug is triggered again this time with the point placed just
          before the first '-'

I really don't understand why there is what seems to be a *second* call
to `shell-filename-completion' while the first one seems to have
succeeded.  The backtrace from the first call looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  shell-command-completion()
  run-hook-with-args-until-success(shell-command-completion)
  comint-completion-at-point()
  completion--capf-wrapper(comint-completion-at-point all)
  run-hook-wrapped(completion--capf-wrapper comint-completion-at-point all)
  completion-at-point()
  funcall-interactively(completion-at-point)
  call-interactively(completion-at-point nil nil)
  command-execute(completion-at-point)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And here is the backtrace from this "second" call:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  shell-command-completion()
  run-hook-with-args-until-success(shell-command-completion)
  comint-completion-at-point()
  #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode 0x347c002d48b3cbc>)()
  completion-in-region--postch()
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thank you for looking into this.  I have probably lower familiarity with
it than you.

The second call which moves the before the first '-' makes sense to me
since to complete further one, one has to insert text before that
character.  This happens elsewhere too so I am not exactly surprised.
However, I think this is where the capf gets stuck since Emacs thinks it
has to complete an option / a flag and the completion engine stops.

This is my guess, anyway.
