Public bug reported:
All of the functions defined in the /usr/share/bash-
completion/completions/* files end up in the shell's global function
namespace.
This causes them override lookups for commands in $PATH, which means
that any command starting with an underscore is at risk of being
overridden by a completions script.
This caused my $HOME/bin/_ssh script to stop being called after the
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ssh was loaded. The _ssh function
was being called instead of my script.
If the function names were prefixed with __bash_completion__ then they
would be less likely to conflict with any real commands or user defined
functions in a user profile file.
