Done. There's very little interaction - for now the match doesn't affect 
scoring, we're just shifting work from the client to the server.

Why? If you complete "foo.b^" then "qux" isn't a valid result. Clients *must* 
requery when erasing anyway, regardless of isIncomplete - it's only "further 
typing" that can reuse the result set.

Why?
I don't think it makes sense to put this behind a flag, unless we're just 
worried the code is buggy. I'm already concerned about the proliferation of 
flags for features users *might* care about, this one either works or it 
doesn't.
This patch just says "don't return qux() if the user presses ctrl-space after 
foo.b". It doesn't affect the existing behavior when user types "foo." - we'll 
still request completion, the filter will be empty. And this patch doesn't 
affect ranking.
