What does /bin/[ have to do with completion of filenames ? You can
`cd ~; touch ifconfig; cat ifc<TAB>` and have it complete to
'ifconfig'. If you were to `cd ~; touch ifconfig; ifc<TAB>`, it would
still complete to the command ifconfig. Same as with /bin/[, just
with the caveat that this will get escaped.
What Federico wants (I think) is type '[' (without the escaping
backslash) and have it complete after that (filling in the backslashes
where needed). It works for the command /bin/[ with the current
/bin/ksh, but not for filenames containing [.
Of course 'completing' a one-character command is a bit
counterproductive, but it works like a charm ;)
