Initial Comment:
as per: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/89091
Typing "prg $HOME/<tab>" expands to "prg \$HOME/" quite annoying, shall expand to "prg $HOME/" listing all directories and files available for expansion, not creating an escaped string from $HOME. It should KEEP $HOME, not expanding it to your home directory as with some program named done!

still present in 1.90 release
