I've used always used `:set paste` for this, if it is ever a problem. I'm
on Vim 8+, and usually it "just works". I've never figured out why it
sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It seems[1] `:set paste` may prevent
other unwanted completions as well (braces and friends for source code).

Now that I think about it, I wonder if it is the difference between using
the terminal emulator's paste (type the clipboard into the terminal) vs.
Vim's clipboard support ("*p).
