Release Status: release

Description:

If a given name exists within one's executable set more than once
(a builtin and an executable, or executables in more than one
directory, for example), compgen -c will output it multiple times.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature. I figure it should be
reviewed, anyway.

By the way, what's going on with gnu.bash.bug? Seems to be dead.

Repeat-By:

compgen -c kill
