Thank you. Your words are a big encouragement for people who are here.

It assumes that the -cP is used by input completion function
to get an argument for 'global -P'.
Generally, its scenario is like follows:

input> st[TAB]                  # invoke completion
v
input> string_
input> string_[TAB][TAB]        # show candidates
v
input> string_
string_A.cpp    string_A.h      string_A.cpp    string_C.h
input> string_A.h[ENTER]
RESULT> first_string_A.h        # invoke 'global -P string_A.h'

Candidate strings need to start with a prefix inputted
by the user (here, it is 'string').

Are you thinking about another scenario?
