Hi,
Custom completions in ksh is currently limited to commands that does not
contain hyphens since such a character cannot be part of an identifier.
We could cheat and replace hyphens with underscores upon performing
completions.
The motivation behind this is that I want to add completions for
ssh-add(1). With the attached diff, I can achieve the following:
$ set -A complete_ssh_add -- $(find ~/.ssh -name '*_rsa')
Comments? OK?
