Hmm, I'm not sure. Perhaps `file-cache-add-directory-using-find` didn't
do its job for some reason? The point is just to add a bunch of file
names to the cache.

That shouldn't matter, I think, as long as you have several files with
"mini" in their names in the cache. Any other invocation of `C-TAB`
that pops the *Completions* buffer should show the same behavior AFAICT.
