I agree we should really claim a bash 'namespace' by prefixing all functions. But since we have backwards compatibility to worry about if we rename all functions, I think we'd best implement such a major change for a next major release ( 1.1). I've proposed prefixing within the roadmap (see http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/BashCompletion/Proposals/Roadmap) as an objective for version 2.0 (?): * create namespace by prefixing all functions with ...? Maybe we'd better vote about the prefix also. I was thinking of using `comp_' and `_comp_' prefixes.
