It works for some operations, but not for `cd`. Try pressing TAB at the
[tab] marked places to verify:
$ touch -- $'--$`!*@\a\b\E\f\r\t\v\\\'"\360\240\202\211 \n' # my test string
$ touch -- --$[tab]
Autocompletes to the correct file.
$ rm -- --$[tab]
Autocompletes to the correct file.
$ mkdir -- $'--$`!*@\a\b\E\f\r\t\v\\\'"\360\240\202\211 \n' # test
$ cd -- --$[tab]
Fails:
$ cd -- --\$\`\!\*@^G^H^[^L^M\ ^K\\\'\"𠂉\
bash: cd: --$`!*
\'"𠂉 : No such file or directory
$ rmdir -- --$[tab]
Autocompletes to the correct file.
** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
