I know that you can use FIGNORE to remove filename completion from suffixes.
For example, to avoid a lot of garbage files produced by LaTeX, I've been using:
FIGNORE=bst:aux:bbl:blg:pdf:fls:fdb_latexmk
However, I would really prefer to apply this FIGNORE only when using specific command line applications (in particular vim or mvim). That way, I would get full filename completion normally, and limit it only "on demand".
I've experimented a little with $if blocks in my ~/.inputrc file but without any luck.

Did you try something like
alias fvim='FIGNORE=bst:aux:bbl:blg:pdf:fls:fdb_latexmk vim'? – romainl – 2013-05-26T11:26:40.993@romainl Just tried. It doesn't appear to work.
FIGNOREmay need to be set in the shell rather than used per command in that way. (Hadn't thought to do it that way - a good thought, but looks like it doesn't work.) – Telemachus – 2013-05-26T11:30:16.843
