same name on PATH and in current dir: TAB should expand command, not dir

In the case where there is an executable on the PATH and a directory
in the current directory, both with the same name, wouldn't it make
more sense for TAB completion to complete the command name, not the
directory, when hitting TAB on the first word of a command line?

$ which wwwoffle-chunks 
/home/jidanni/bin/wwwoffle-chunks
$ pwd
/home/jidanni
$ ls -ld wwwoffle-chunks
drwxr-xr-x    2 jidanni  jidanni      4096 11 20 05:35 wwwoffle-chunks/
$ wwwoffle-chunks/

i.e., I pressed tab, I wish not to have the / appended.

Sorry for rehashing my complaint again.
