Package: bash
Version: 5.0-4
Severity: normal
With the default setting
complete -F _longopt rm
the autocompletion is broken on filenames or directories with ":?" at the
beginning.
# mkdir ':?aa'
# rmdir :<tab>
gives me
# rmdir :\:\?
which doesn't match the filename; I can finish completion by entering "aa",
but then "rm" rejects this name.

As pointed out by Andreas Schwab in the thread at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2024-04/msg00181.html>, `:`
is in $COMP_WORDBREAKS.
This means that the initial `:` is not considered as the first character
of the word to be completed, but rather as a separator that restarts the
completion logic.
`:` must be escaped to make the completion logic consider it as a normal
character:
$ rmdir \:<TAB>
$ rmdir \:\?aa
