Summary:                    Need tab completion of "core set debug X filename.c"
Description: 

There is a method by which debugging can be activated for particular C
files by typing something like this from the CLI:

core set debug 2 chan_sip.c

There is no indication that this is possible in the tab completion of the
command line.  After typing "2" in the example above, hitting "tab" gives a
beep instead of something like "<filename.c>" or a list of available files.
 For that matter, the idea that a number can be put in as a debug level is
not clear, either.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I'm unclear on the course of thought that leads to that conclusion.  I
think that a reasonable person would expect that any command-line options
that are possible would be hinted at via tab completion, and not merely
discoverable in additional documentation.  Otherwise, it would be an
arbitrary decision of someone to determine what should or should not be
hinted at in tab completions, and it would discourage users from believing
what tab completions provided for hinting.  This leads to the perception of
inconsistent behaviors which I think we're trying to avoid when new or even
experienced users attempt to learn about less commonly-used features.
