readline and bash disagree on $'' quoting

2015-10-05 Thread Daniel Colascione
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?
