+This function corresponds to the tt(-default-) special context which is
+applied where no completion is defined.  It is useful to call it under
+certain error conditions such as completion after an unrecognised
+subcommand.  This applies the concept of graceful degradation to the
+completion system, allowing it to fallback on basic completion of
+commonly useful things like filenames.
