AFAIK the -D argument to complete was introduced in bash 4.1 so I
believe pretty much all functionality would be lost for bash versions
older than that.

Sometime something like that will most definitely be implemented, but at
the moment we're targeting bash >= 3.2. When that "sometime" might be
depends on availability of developer/maintainer resources. FWIW my
personal interest towards bash < 4.1 will decrease gradually this year
as the systems I work with get upgraded. I'm not aware of other project
members' thoughts about this.
