Hello,

I feel a lack in bash completion around variable environment setting. Contrary to variable read, in which case the variable starts with a $ sign, variable set syntax is done without the dollar sign.

In command lines like:

> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/somewhere ./my_app
> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/somewhere

LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't be completed.

First, I wonder if it exists, and it doesn't work because of some misconfiguration of mine.

If it does not exists, is it something you would like to see in bash-completion? If yes, I would need some simple support to start, like: what is the right completion file to add the general case (for export completion, obviously, I'd look to completion/export).In a first time, it could be something very simple, based on `env` output to list all exported environment variable.

Cheers,
