The patch was against your script. They weren't useful to mine
since it worked differently. The main intention was not to have
to pass the completion results through the shell in your case
and thus introduce possible escaping bugs and slowness. Since my
version got the results from an external file and command
anyway, it wasn't necessary. It might be good to leave it for
flexibility in future modifications, but the script wouldn't
make use of it. I take it the unmodified script that I posted
works (as it does for me)?

I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues.  To the
logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to
underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to
exaggerate one's own powers.
