Package: bash Version: 3.0-17 Normally, bash can complete shell variables when appropriate; for example, "foo=1" followed by "echo $f<TAB>" will complete to "echo $foo". However, programmable completion interferes with this; for example, "svn ls $f<TAB>", "cvs $f<TAB>", and "ssh $f<TAB>" all fail to complete $foo. Shell variables should always be a valid completion when they are syntactically valid, since they could always contain a string appropriate for the current command.
(By "when they are syntactically valid", I mean that the shell already knows not to complete "echo \$f<TAB>" into "echo \$foo", and that shouldn't change.) - Josh Triplett
