The completion table in uniquify files completes on base names first,
then on uniquifying directories.

Given an empty completion string, it will return a list of all files (as
absolute file names), but completing on that is not equivalent to using
the table.

I don't know whether that completion table is "flat". We could define
"flat" to mean 'equivalent to a list of files"; that seems like a useful
definition.
