If I have "alter table foo alter COLUMN bar SET STATISTICS" in the line
buffer,
it tab completes to add " TO", which is not legal.

The attached patch makes it not tab complete anything at all, which is at
least not actively misleading.

I thought of having it complete "-1", "<integer>" so that it gives a clue
about what is needed, but I didn't see any precedence for non-literal
clue-giving and I did not want to try to create new precedence.
