'complete further than' would be incorrect. The shell would not be able to complete further than 'foo' because it doesn't know if a 'b' or '.' would be next. > 'foobar' and 'foo.bar' are identical up to 'foo', which is where > the shell can complete to.

" Both foobar and foo.bar start with fo, but it was able to complete to foo. If you type in ., then hit Tab again, the shell would be able to fill in the rest of the filename for you." - Murray
