A feature request:

Running `emacs -q` on master e56e4b345a2:

> M-x ielm
> Type in e.g.: (file-exists-p "~/.gitco
> TAB
> The above gets completed to "~/.gitconfig

However:
> M-:
> Type in (file-exists-p "~/.gitco
> TAB
> No completions are offered!

Would be cool if this behaviour was offered in the minibuffer as
well. If it already exists, but is not a default, it would be
interesting to consider making it a default, since it is in ielm.
