Dumb question: has anyone evaluated the performance characteristics of if completion modules were instead of sourced shell functions implemented as executable scripts (not necessarily even shell ones) that would just be called with the appropriate environment and options, and that would echo their results to stdout, and used with complete -C? This way I suppose the amount of stuff to load at startup would decrease radically but the scripts would be continuously loaded and invoked anew for every completion in every shell. _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
