example completion for a2ps

[Sven Wischnowsky <wischnow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Below is a bit of cleanup in `_path_files', making the `-F' option
work again.
Then there are some enhancements in `_comp_parts' (damn, why didn't I
name this `_parts', no other function starts with `_comp'). And
finally there is a (probably silly) example function using
`_comp_parts' -- a completion function for `a2ps' (GNU version 4.10.1).

With that you can do `a2ps --c=y<TAB>' to get `a2ps --compact=yes' and 
things like that.

The function could still do with a bit of work, though.

Bye
 Sven
