It's intentional that the tab completion not list every single variable;
I think if it did, it would be less useful not more so.  However the
decisions about which to omit have been less consistent than they
perhaps should be, and I'm sure there were some omitted purely through
oversight.  It would be good to go through the whole list and see
exactly what's missing or superfluous.
