1 I used to not know about bash completion, and all was fine. Then I
2 read a bit about it and gave it a try, and all was still fine, and
3 pretty handy. But somewhere along the way, bash completion has
4 screwed up, and now various things which used to work before bash
5 completion no longer work. Such as
6
7 cd $WWW/<tab>
8
9 where $WWW is one of my shell env vars. It just dings, refuses to
10 complete. I have to cd $WWW then cd again.
11
12 Or
13
14 vi `ls /usr/port<tab>`
15
16 It won't complete anything inside back quotes.
