This said, it would be good to improve it for such circumstances (and the TAB "completion" should work more like normal completion: e.g. after "\Rig" a TAB should complete to \Rightarrow since it's the only sequence that starts with \Rig; also showing the tree in *Quail Completions* is not nearly as useful as showing the leaves in *Completions*).
