Yes, we should, at least for programmable completion. I found the spot that needed to be changed, and it will be fixed for the next version.

Readline is a general-purpose library and knows very little about shell syntax. - -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, ITS, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iEYEARECAAYFAlYTytgACgkQu1hp8GTqdKusgQCeOvCltJn7h0yO/rwU27AX9djd udUAoIlfiMfr3bjY0iIBHxvHRRYbxpto =by4w -END PGP SIGNATURE-
readline and bash disagree on $'' quoting
Consider this command: foo $'foo \' bar' As far as the bash core is concerned, this command has one argument word. But readline, for completion, splits it up into three words: 0: foo 1: $'abc \' 2: bar' Shouldn't we be splitting the command line into the same number of words? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
