In a BBDB discussion, I suggested to complete the above to "Emmett Brown
\"doc\" <gigawatt@delorean.com>", but it's true that you may prefer to
keep the nickname private.

In that case it's really not a completion (tho the completion code may
help you complete "do" to "doc" as a first step).

As Tassilo mentions, maybe we could have a post-completion step that can
perform some kind of expansion/replacement/cleanup once a valid
completion is selected.  I'm not sure what that would look like in terms
of code and API, but if someone wants to try it out a propose a patch to
start a discussion, maybe we could add such a thing.
