Usually people do `COMPREPLY=($(compgen ...))' (or write to stdout in a command specified with `complete -C') so nothing persists anyway, right? I don't know if there's really any use case that generates completions to place into COMPREPLY by running compgen in the foreground so it's hard for me to imagine a use case that benefits from the readline state being modified.
