Note though ctrl-d won't show what a glob expands to, for that you
want list-expand, not list-choices (which does what ctrl-d does
regardless of where on the line you are).

For example if you have *t and press ctrl-d, you will see things that
don't end with a t (because completing with glob_complete set will
always insert a * at the cursor), while list-expand will only show
exactly what it matches, and also works independently of
glob_complete.
