If you read further in that thread, you'll find a message I sent out on
9/2 containing a patch that adds a `direxpand' option.  The new option
is intended to restore the bash-4.1 behavior of performing word expansion
on variables in directory names when completing.  It works pretty well;
there are a couple of rough edges that will be worked out.

Look for <4E612F5B.5040003@case.edu>.
