Maybe it would make even more sense to just remove the `widget-complete`
binding since M-TAB should already be bound appropriately, but the
problem is that we don't know that the code which inserts the widget
into a buffer has properly setup the `completion-at-point-functions`
hook for `completion-at-point` to work.

Maybe we should try and detect when that is not the case and emit
a warning if so (with the hope to be able to obsolete `widget-complete`
in some future version).
