Hi All,
There is an issue that has been bothering me for quite some time now, and that
I finally got to the bottom of. It concerns the dirname passed to opendir in
rl_filename_completion_function (complete.c).
If the dirname requires tilde expansion it is expanded, and if it requires
dequoting it is dequoted. However, if a dirname requires BOTH tilde expansion
AND dequoting (e.g.: ~stefan/funny\ dir/) only the former is performed and
filename completion fails as a result.
This can be handled by rl_directory_rewrite_hook or
rl_directory_completion_hook -- that's why it works in bash -- but I agree
with your change if the calling application doesn't supply either.
