bash_completion uses
sed -ne 's/.*\(--[-A-Za-z0-9]\{1,\}=\{0,1\}\).*/\1/p'
to parse the options out of the --help output for MANY commands, including grep.
Unfortunately, it trips up on lines like this from grep:
-r, --recursive like --directories=recurse
because the .* matches right up to before --directories=recurse. d'oh.
It gets --directories out of that line.
** Summary changed:
- Completions for some long options are missing.
+ Completions for some long options are missing. (doesn't parse --help output
