Hm, compgen appears to behave strange if words contain whitespace.
Well, it splits the argument to -W on $IFS as documented. What other
strange behavior do you see?
For example, this:
function _aha
{
local list="a b:c d:e f"
COMPREPLY=($(IFS=: compgen -W "$list"))
}
complete -F _aha aha
Typing aha <Tab> cycles through 6 items a, b, c, d, e, f, whereas I
would expect 3 items 'a b', 'c d', 'e f'. It looks like compgen splits
the argument to -W on $IFS _and_ whitespace. Or am I missing something?
