It is introduced by patch 7.1.081 [1], which is supposed to fix this
bug:
- Command line completion for a shell command: "cat </tmp/file<Tab>"
doesn't work.
In co-operation with Bram, I decided to make vim_isfilec() the judge of
which characters to treat as white space when doing shell completion.
We didn't think of your example ('*unix*<Tab>'), sorry.
I'll wait and see what Bram (or others) proposes as a solution.
