Bug Description

Binary package hint: sqlite3

If you have a sqlite database file called "something.db", you can't tab complete to it on the bash shell. You can tab complete to it if you call the file "something.sqlite". I think "*.db" should be included as a possible sqlite3 file. The Quick Start guide for sqlite ( http://www.sqlite.org/quickstart.html ) even used "test.db" as an example.
