PATCH: Small fix for broken example in documentation



About a year ago, I was having problems with getting completion to work
with cd. I eventually tracked the problem down to a compctl from the
documentation I was using. The offending compctl is:

compctl -T -x 'C[0,*/*]' -f - 's[~]' -k friends -S/ -tn

The problem was that the C[...] part meant that cd and other things
would complete to files after the first slash.

My fix which I did mention at the time is:

compctl -T -x 's[~] C[0,[^/]#]' -k friends -S/ -tn

So that nobody else wastes their time and ours it'd be a good idea to
change this in the documentation. It is also applicable to the 3.0.5
documentation (atleast without -tn) but I don't have the source around
to do a patch.

The patch for the documentation follows.

  that completion after `tt(~)' is too slow to be usable), you can use
  
  indent(
! tt(compctl -T -x 'C[0,*/*]' -f - 's[~]' -k friends -S/ -tn)
  )
  
  to complete the strings in the array tt(friends) after a `tt(~)'.
