I used an idea that already existed in the bash completion code (I made it
bash-specific since the issue of word expansion is specific to bash, not
general to applications using readline). It assumes that any unquoted
word expansion characters are intended to eventually be expanded, and
quotes accordingly.
There was enough existing code there to do it without adding much new.
