I believe the good enough test is that "\t" invokes GDB complete_line (via
readline_line_completion_function). GDB complete_command also obviously leads
to complete_line.
Therefore if one tests "\t" really works in any single case (which is tested
by gdb.base/readline-ask.exp as it completes the inferior symbol names) one
can then test just the "complete" command for all the other completion
variants with the same coverage.

But maybe the coverage equivalance is not so obvious as I considered it.
