I already use the -D switch coupled with -F to get custom list. It works at an
empty prompt. No problem there. 

Even in your example with the rcfile like below, it exposes what I see and do
not want. 

$ bash --rcfile /dev/null
$ PATH=
$ complete -D -W "foo bar"
$ <TAB><TAB>
foo bar
$ f<TAB><TAB>
false     fc        fg        fi        for       function
$ exit
$

As you can see it suggests all builtins that starts with f and worst it won't
show custom commands ( but that is managed on my side )
