As the name implies, it's a function designed specifically for use on
`completion-at-point-functions`.  Maybe dabbrev is not well adapted
for use within a normal completion UI, but `dabbrev-capf` should do its
best to obey the rules of `completion-at-point-functions`, so I think
the behavior Daniel suggests is indeed what `dabbrev-capf` should try
to do.

Those people who don't like it can use dabbrev via various other UIs.
