tab-always-indent can take the value of complete that does
completion-at-point too. Does it make sense to make c-tab-always-indent
consistent with this? Thanks.

There isn't a completion engine in CC Mode, so it is difficult to see
what this could do in c-tab-always-indent.  Did you have some specific
idea as to what this could be?

I was thinking if someone adds something to
completion-at-point-functions TAB in cc-mode can do the completion for
them.

[ CC-mode is under Alan's control, so this answer is just to stir
  things up a bit. ]

If you ask me, all the <foo>-tab-always-indent should die and be
replaced by generic support for mode-local customization of
variables like tab-always-indent.
