I have already tried the "-o filenames" option to compgen, with no success.
Is what I want at all possible with the current bash (I used GNU bash, version
3.2.25(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) from KUbuntu 7.10)? If not, can you fix
it (e.g. by improving the "-o filenames" option)?
The basic idea is that only the `top-level' completion function be
specified with the `-o filenames' option, and that all lower-level
completion generators return unquoted filenames. The `-o filenames'
option tells readline to treat the completions as filenames, so it
only does any good with the completer that generates the final list
of completions to hand back to readline.
I was able to produce the behavior you want by using a completion
function specified with -o filenames and the code you included as
the function body. Not for mercurial, though -- there's no completion
for it on my ubuntu system, so I'm not sure exactly how the completion
functions for it are structured.
