   only to display by `?' and not to display by TAB?

No, it affects TAB too, if TAB can not do completion, even ignoring
all extensions in completion-ignored-extensions.  As I explained, TAB
takes completion-ignored-extensions into account in deciding whether
it can do completion (as opposed to having to display a list of
completions), but _after_ it decides that it has to display a list, it
ignores the variable.

Sincerely,
