} Peter's version contains my patch for completion continuing. With this 
} we almost ever need a `-tc' in the `-T' completion.
} 
} (I said that trouble would come of that...)

Is there any reason that -tc simply can't be implicit?  That is, why not
always continue with the next suitable completion, leaving -t+ -t- and -tx
to change what "next suitable" means?  And then perhaps throw in something
like -tn to mean "no, DON'T continue."

Seems to me it's more often the case that you want to go on trying other
possible completions rather than giving up.  The default should be what
the most common case is.
