Is there any way around the TAB-completion inconsistency in
ksh93t+ in the subsequently illustrated case that the filenames
contain spaces? (I am using vi-mode.)

$ touch "hello world.txt"
## auto-complete with TAB works as expected...
$ ls hello\ world.txt
hello world.txt
## create another file with same prefix
$ touch "hello world-2.txt"
## now auto-complete with TAB does *not* work correctly...

$ ls hello world
## ...the blank has not become escaped!
## now removing one of the two files
$ rm "hello world.txt"
## and auto-completion works again on the one file...
$ ls hello\ world\-2.txt

Note: If there are *no blanks* in the filenames auto-completion
works just fine with two files.

Thanks.
