Did you actually see what happens when you set this variable non-nil
and try this?  If not, please do; if you did, and the result was not
what you expected, please show the details: what you types, which
files are there on disk, and what completion candidates were
suggested.

Because AFAIK Emacs already does what you want it to do in these
cases, without needing any additional values for this option.
