This behavior is intensional.  Many current users expect a TAB to mean TAB
especially when entering compound commands from the terminal.
I suspect that2 is is less of an inconvenience for a user to type one
character before doing a completion, then it is for a user to
hit ^V before each tabr especially with multiple tabs.
