Initial Comment:
Right now if you run bash tests from a dir with spaces (for example by symlinking a 'bash completion' dir to the git repo) they won't run correctly. This patch series fixes that; most tests run correctly.

This is useful because it's a way to inject "interesting" paths into completions without building custom fixtures for every command. It's an easy way to find quoting errors. I'm not sure how important it is for bash-completion to work with all possible paths but it does seem to generate a lot of user complaints.

I already found an issue with this. It seems that java completion does not support spaces in the classpath. I'm don't know how common that is. I tried a quick fix but it's not that simple.
