Initial Comment:
Hi,

One thing that has bugged me is that <TAB> doesn't complete things with asterixes in them.

For example,

$ mv *.txt<TAB>

would produce the filenames of all files with extension .txt when NOT using bash_completion. This is useful as a check to see what files you're actually moving (in the example above).

When using bash_completion, hitting <TAB> doesn't do anything.

Any hints or workarounds for this problem?


Thanks,
Alan
