Initial Comment:
Copied from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547852:

Completions for GNU screen could be improved. I would like to be able to type

  screen wg[TAB]

and it complete it as

  screen wget

etc. In other words, the second token ought to allow completions for all
executables on the current path.

(If I type

  screen /usr/bin/wg[TAB]

then it does complete; so it works fine if I specify a path, but it isn't
checking $PATH. But this is just because it's defaulting to completing
filenames; it will also complete on non-executable files.)

Message:
"screen $command <TAB>" should also offer completions for $command, not screen.
