Yup.  We could try and handle this with a `completion-table-subvert`
hack like we do in `pcomplete-completions-at-point`.

Still, if you remove the ~/ the behavior is still not great: it seems I get
"Do*" completed to "Documents/ " where the SPC might not be what I want.

Maybe we should return a special completion-table which implements the
`backend` style.
