This is the question: Why should `completion-all-completions' with
`locate-file-completion-table' return duplicate names?

You may say that whatever someone decides to do with the result
from `completion-all-completions' is not your concern.  But why?

Why not have it return all of the completions here, with no
duplicates, as is normally the case?
