The bash completion bug was fixed.
I'm inclined to say that if character classes are needed, gawk should be
used. It looks like mawk has stalled, and the call to switch to Thomas
Dickey's fork isn't mine to make. We are following debian on this one.

Title:
Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions
Status in mawk package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in mawk package in Debian:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: mawk
Mawk does not support Posix character classes, such as [:upper:] and
[:lower:], in regular expressions. This makes it more difficult to
write portable Awk scripts (since [A-Z] match lower-case characters in
Gawk using non-English locales)
E.G.:
$ echo x | mawk '/[[:lower:]]/'
$ echo x | gawk '/[[:lower:]]/'
x
$
Attached is a patch to fix this issue.
