This fix is something we definitely want in 1.0 too - without it, all _filedir 
completions get a "()" entry included in them under bash 2.x.

I saw 1.0 was already tagged but I don't know how the branch is supposed to be 
managed and by whom (there's no mention of 1.0 in the roadmap proposal) so 
I've committed this only to master.
