Using an optional command before checking if it exists is a very
commonly used pattern in bash-completion, and I don't think we want to
address their occurrences one at a time. TBH, I'm pretty sure if we'd
rather not address that stuff at all. I don't use
command_not_found_handle stuff myself so this is just untested
guesswork, but maybe you could modify your function to check if a
completion function is being run and exiting early if it is, maybe by
checking if $COMP_LINE is empty or not?
