That will cause problems.  Sometimes I use "-G" from the command line, I
use/test it with a python filter.   (btw -x seems broken to me, not the
completer, the command.)  Also, the "-Ztag" flag changes the  output format,
which is likely to cause problems for the completer.

Not particularlly documented, except through the wonders of Google. :) It
changes the output format on some commands, which can sometimes be useful with
a grep.  Also, there is -vrpc, but I haven't found that particularly useful.

Though, I think this change will help quite a bit as it is.  Thanks Peter.
