 No, 'complete to' is correct.  'complete further than' would be
 incorrect.  The shell would not be able to complete further than 'foo'
 because it doesn't know if a 'b' or '.' would be next.

 That what the existing text says.  Please re-read it, and then confirm
 that I can close this PR.
 
 " Both foobar and foo.bar start with fo, but it was able to complete to
  foo. If you type in ., then hit Tab again, the shell would be able to
  fill in the rest of the filename for you."
