Hitting TAB again replaces foo1 with foo2, and again replaces that with foo3, and again goes back to foo1. I am not sure that should be the default, since it might confuse people who were not expecting it. It certainly should not be the default in eshell only, since that is inconsistent. However, having it as an option everywhere in Emacs would be good. And maybe having it as the default everywhere in Emacs would be good, I am just not sure.
