No, the _ignored completer, which is used by default, but there was a
bug in it: it didn't find the right completers to use because it used
a parameter it had just declared local.

But of course one *can* replace $fignore with the above. Welcome to
the world of hey-look-at-all-the-things-we-can-ignore-now ;-)

Hmhm, I found that rather confusing, too. But I was terribly confused
by all the possible interactions between the styles and such when
writing all that anyway. I was tempted to call it `no-suffix' but that 
wouldn't be very obvious either. Does anyone have a good suggestion,
probably avoiding `suffix' completely?
