The default completion UI tries pretty hard to avoid all operations that
are specific to a particular backend.  There are still some details
where we do things differently when we know we're completing filenames,
but I consider these to be failures of the API that need to be fixed.

IOW I consider the existence of `vertico--tidy-shadowed-file` as a bug
in itself ;-)
