How about a list of regexps (and add `^CVS/$' -- using the same
`directories have slashes' rule as completion-ignored-extensions)?

That'd be more useful for future weird cases, and most people will use
completion-ignored-extensions anyway, so I don't think `regexps are
confusing to novices' would be an objection to it.
