That's what it does if you don't enable partial-completion-mode. But with partial-completion-mode enabled, it stays "foo" and Emacs displays the list of possible completions. Michael Ernst wrote the patch which implemented this behavior. Michael, why is it desirable for partial-completion mode to handle this case differently from ordinary completion?
