The beginning of such a change may look like the attached patch.

If we want to go for the bonus points, we would either add another
parameter "prefix" to the test_completion function, or introduce the
test_complete_command function that takes that prefix parameter, and
in addition to making sure lines from "expect" is fully contained in
the "actual", make sure that output from

        comm -13 expect.sorted actual.sorted

all begin with that "prefix" string, perhaps with

        grep -v "^$prefix"

or something.  The test_fully_contains function needs to be renamed
if somebody goes that additional step.
