    But if you use it to a different end, you shouldn't be surprised if the
    behavior isn't always ideal (e.g. if TAB doesn't apply
    directory-abbrev-alist).  This said, I have nothing against TAB calling
    abbreviate-file-name.

I do not like the idea of making TAB perform additional alterations
on the minibuffer text.
