I think it should be the default for completion to work. What isn't
clear to me is if we need an option (nocomplete?) to disable it, and if
there should be a way to hide individual labels from view.
I would appreciate user comments on the above. Otherwise I'm probably
going to accept the patch with the sense reversed (a nocomplete option.)
