3.1.6-pws-5

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

http://www.ifh.de/~pws/computing/zsh-3.1.6-pws-5.tar.gz

This contains some quite significant changes, even outside the completion
system, with floating point support and match variables for patterns.

I had to apply a couple of patches to _path_files by hand.  It didn't look
like the code was too far out from what the patches were expecting, though.
Partly as a consequence (i.e. I got confused), 7945 isn't listed in the
ChangeLog, but has been applied (it is listed below).

	* pws: Config/version.mk: version 3.1.6-pws-5

	* Sven: 7953: Completion/Commands/_expand_word,
	  Completion/Core/_expand, Doc/Zsh/compsys.yo: expand_completions
	  configuration key.

	* pws: 7952: Completion/X/_xutils: xrdb should complete file
	  arguments.

	* Sven: 7951: Src/subst.c, Doc/Zsh/expn.yo: parameter expansion flags
	  for quoting with single or double quotes.

	* Sven: 7950: Src/utils.c, Src/Zle/complist.c: more careful
	  with VARARR's.

	* Sven: 7949: 7949: Completion/X/_x_color,
	  Completion/X/_x_extension, Completion/X/_x_window,
	  Completion/X/_xutils: completion for standard X utilities.

	* pws: 7948: Src/glob.c, Src/pattern.c: indexes weren't
	  calculate properly in $mbegin, $mend, $MBEGIN, $MEND because
	  of Meta bytes.

	* Sven: 7947: Src/Zle/zle_tricky.c, Doc/Zsh/compwid.yo:
	  compstate[insert] can be all to insert all matches.

	* Sven: 7945: Src/Zle/zle_tricky.c, Completion/Core/_multi_parts,
	  Completion/Core/_path_files: better path completion with braces

	* Sven: 7944: Src/Zle/zle_tricky.c, Completion/Core/_multi_parts,
	  Completion/Core/_path_files, Completion/Core/_sep_parts:
	  new heuristic for deciding whether to add strings under match
	  control or if they are too ambiguous to be useful.

	  in history when scanning through it.
