If you <tab> at the end of this line, aren't you trying to complete a local
file name 'L'?
Yes and in fact it "restart" the completion, i.e. you get
cmake --help-variable CMAKE_<CMAKE_L
That's odd...
Maybe I don't understand what context you are in.
If I type exactly what you showed at a bash prompt, then according to
bash syntax (and verified by hitting 'enter' and receiving the expected
error) 'L' is the name of a file which is redirected to cmake's stdin.
Therefore, I would expect the completion context if one hits 'tab'
having types exactly that to be 'L', in the context of a stdin redirection.
It sounds like you are seeing something different. I'm by no means a
bash completion expert, but that seems odd. Maybe you should ask on the
bash list if you haven't already?
Does it work if you escape the '<'?
I don't really know how to do that inside a partial completion.
The only option I see is to forcibly add a ' " 'prefix to the completion.
Again, maybe I am confused. Did *you* type the '<'? Or was the '<'
emitted due to partial completion?
If the former, does completion work better if you instead try to complete:
$ cmake --help-variable CMAKE_\<L
If the latter... I'm not sure (see previous comment about not being a
bash completion expert). Still, this works for e.g. file names, usually
spaces are escaped automatically. I wonder if you were to simply do a
replacement of '<' with '\<' in generated completions if it would work
better?
