Yes. I met such completion in some applications in Windows, so I thought would
be nice to have it here in my favorite DE.

Simple scenario. In spectacle I click in "Save as", get file save dialog,
whereas file name is highlighted excluding extension I start typing, so name is
removing and now even I enter begin of name as is present in other files in
opened directory then nothing is completed. I need to remove extension to get
completion.
Having completed file name I can easy correct it and don't need neither to
remove extension to get completion nor enter whole file name or even click.
This is obvious that completion of file name makes life easy in managing files.

You can change it as feature request if this is possible here.
