I think this is not something that we should do lightly. Especially considering that we possibly have the namespace stuff pending which if implemented would break backwards compatibility too. > Also I don't think that we should sacrifice readability of the code for > some small performance gains. I don't think splitting into smaller files hurts or sacrifices readability. In addition to possible small performance gains, it makes it immediately obvious which file one needs to look at if one wants to tweak completion for a command without us having to deal with the pain with symlinks. _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
