I don't really like this change. I usually forget the order for m3M+
glob qualifiers, so it's handy to just press tab to see when which is
valid, but now it starts autofilling stuff instead, and scrolling off
everything else on my terminal. It also doesn't seem to insert
anything actually sensible... but even if the bugs are fixed I would
prefer to turn the whole thing off. :)
