You do care about the common match string.  When the lldb driver handles 
completion, if the common match string is not null, we append that to the line 
at the cursor position, then present the matches if there is more than one.  So 
the common match string also has to be tested.

The ability to page the completion requests in the API would be useful for 
instance in symbol completion where you can get lots of matches, but if you 
only plan to display the first page you'd rather not pay the cost to go find 
them all.  I put that in the SB API's because I didn't want to have to add 
another one when I got around to implementing this.  When I get around to this 
I'll fix the docs...  But you could remove that from the lldb private version 
if you're so motivated.  I'll still remember I intended to extend it this way, 
even if nobody else will see that.

We can't return a std::pair across the SB API's, but we could make the common 
match be another parameter.  There was some reason this seemed logical to me at 
the time, but I must admit I can't remember why now.  It is in practice easy to 
use, however.  You append element 0 to the cursor position, then print the rest 
of the completions if num_matches is > 1.  Again, feel free to switch the 
lldb_private API if it bugs you.

An additional test in the Python testsuite is:

  def test_target_create_dash_co(self):
      """Test that 'target create --co' completes to 'target variable --core 
'."""
      self.complete_from_to('target create --co', 'target create --core ')

So I still don't see why the file check method is preferable.  But to each his 
own, I guess.
