Immaterial to the tab completion, as it just means one of them is
shadowed by the other. But yes, that could be extremely useful - or
maybe completely useless, if there's a lot of intentional shadowing
happening. At any rate, it'd be nice to be able to say "Show me
everything that could be found for this name", which the same code
could answer.
