Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release
Description:
bash allows declaring functions with a name that contains `*'.
In the output of `complete -p', those function names will not be
quoted which makes the output of `complete -p' output not safe
to pass to `eval' or output to a file that will be read by
`source'.
I think bash should quote the arguments to `-F' in the output of
`complete -p'.
Repeat-By:
bash-5.1$ a*x () { echo hi ;}
bash-5.1$ 'a*x'
hi
bash-5.1$ complete -W 'something something' -F 'a*x' hello
bash-5.1$ complete -p hello
complete -W 'something something' -F a*x hello
