Thanks, Bruno. The bash completion rules support the "patch file
patch" syntax for patch files matching *.patch, *.dif, *.diff (and
even x.dpatch, which seems a bit odd):

    case $args in
        1)
            _filedir
            ;;
        2)
            _filedir '@(?(d)patch|dif?(f))'
            ;;
    esac
