my #1 bash gripe is that newer versions do not
expand command lines containing '$' in emacs

$ export SRC=../somedir
$ less ${SRC}/
( meaning press horizontal tab key )
and emacs mode readline would expand,
displaying the contents of ../somedir .

hi Eric - thanks for your response, but bash-4.2.29(2), just built from
latest patches from gnu on x86_64 ubuntu, does NOT
"restore the old behavior" , but now refuses to tab-expand at
all - 'cat $SRC/' on the command line still produces no
output. Is there some option I need to give to enable it
