Hmm, it seems impossible to use `M-TAB' for quail-completion.

I tried to add '(("\M-\t" . quail-completion)) to the `translation-keys' arg
of `quail-define-package' but it fails with

   (error "Key sequence M-TAB starts with non-prefix key ")

and according to its docstring, only single key character is allowed
in additional key bindings:

    translation-keys specifies additional key bindings used while translation
    region is active.  It is an alist of single key character vs. corresponding
    command to be called.
