I was also surprised that bash can do this. I played around with it a
bit and found that my bash can do the "*xx*<tab>" completion only if I
do not source /etc/bash_completion. I have to choose between having the
"*xx*<tab>" completion behavior and having the handy features offered by
/etc/bash_completion. I use bash 3.1dfsg-8 on a Sid system.
Can anybody confirm this? Is this a bug or a consequence of the way
/etc/bash_completion works? (I would expect that bash_completion is
supposed to add features without removing existing ones.)
