I suspect it's simply that it wasn't included in the TR proposal,
wanting to leave open different options for implementations.

I have a feature request for an "uncomplete" function in; Would you be
happy with something like this instead?

    complete( uncomplete(i, input_base_path), output_path);

Where input_base_path would be the first 7 components of your
input_path.  (I'm guessing that the 7 comes from some other path,
rather than being hard-coded somehow.)

Hoping to find a new use case,
