Description
Hello. As far as I can tell, the is_file option for ask is not working, perhaps just on my local environment, but I'm not sure how to debug further.
I've created a minimal test, and confirmed that I can't tab complete either files in CWD or even starting with /
file_test.rb:
require "rubygems"
require "cli/ui"
file = CLI::UI.ask("A file question", is_file: true)
puts "File exists? #{File.exist?(file)}"
Some system/version information (I've [redacted] a few bits):
% gem list cli-ui
*** LOCAL GEMS ***

Research direction
Start with the minimal reproduction in file_test.rb and trace the CLI::UI.ask entry point when is_file is true. Reproduce the missing tab completion for files in the current directory and paths beginning with /; done means both cases complete as expected.
