That is basic tab completion. I have this setting in my bashrc:

export FIGNORE=.o:~:.BAK:.class

Advanced tab completion is completion based on the command; for example,
completions that would list only mounted filesystems for umount, inserted
modules for rmmod, email addresses from ~/.mutt_aliases for mutt etc. :)
Look at bash-completion at freshmeat for that.
