Re: GLOB_COMPLETE and numbered directories

} and then move the cursor to 1<C>a/iota before pressing TAB. However,
} for some reason this doesn't happen when "continuing an in-progress
} completion" with a second TAB. I believe that's because the second
} tab just regenerates the listing with the same pattern as on the
} first tab, and that's not sufficient to disambiguate.
So ... in the case of moving the cursor to after the "1" and pressing
TAB, $PREFIX = "1". But in the case of pressing the second TAB after
completing to "1a/iota", $PREFIX = "1a/iota" even though the cursor
is not at the end of the word.
The fix is therefore something like this, though I don't know if I have
handled completeinword correctly (as in, I think this generates matches
on a second TAB even when completeinword is not set, but I don't think
anyone would object to that?).
