Yeah. So I think the request in 36945 can't be done -- Emacs has to
complete over all files in load-path, no matter what they're called,
really.
I'm not sure what context the request was made in (since it's not
stated), but I thought about it from a `find-library' context.
Which should probably use something like the patch that was reverted,
but put into its own function.
