dabbrev-expand in minibuffer: well, would I be posting if it were OK?

type this: M-x compile ./oneside 153.80 237000;./oneside 153.40

Ok before you type RET, add a 2:
Compile command: ./oneside 153.80 237000;./oneside 153.40 2
and start pounding on M-/ M-/ M-/
One would think that we could quickly arrive at
Compile command: ./oneside 153.80 237000;./oneside 153.40 237000
but no, one has to go thru all the expansions of the 2 stuff lying
around in other buffers before we see the 237000 from a mere couple
words back show up as an expansion.

So this means the minibuffer shouldn't have some special default
avoidance... just treat it like a normal buffer...
Yeah I know I can customize this and that, but of course I'm really
looking out for the benefit of John Q. default state user, not myself.
