About an hour later now, and it still isn't there yet.

I've sent a number of messages asking about potential changes, to which
there have been no replies or at least no decision (e.g., 10346, users/3013,
users/2973, others).  Does Sven have any outstanding issues with completion?

I think it should work like ksh in sh/ksh emulation modes, but otherwise I
think the current behavior is OK.  That isn't exactly the same as having an
