It is just unlikely to produce anything useful. Here's what the start
of a PNG file might look like, for example:
00000000: 8950 4e47 0d0a 1a0a 0000 000d 4948 4452 .PNG........IHDR
00000010: 0000 0a00 0000 05a0 0802 0000 001d 628d ..............b.
00000020: 8800 0000 0373 4249 5408 0808 dbe1 4fe0 .....sBIT.....O.
00000030: 0000 2000 4944 4154 785e ecdd 0760 14d5 .. .IDATx^...`..

Right, it is another case of a buffer that will just contain nothing
useful for completion purposes. But perhaps it doesn't contain anything
harmful either.
