Description:
The variable COMP_POINT is actually set to the size (not the length) of
the command line before the cursor, whereas ${#COMP_LINE} returns the length of
the string. This behavior make it hard to determine where the cursor is when
the commandline contain non-ascii characters and it is NOT consistent with the
statement in bash(1) which says these two are the same when the cursor is at
the end of the line.
Repeat-By:
$ a() { COMPREPLY=('' "${COMP_POINT}" "${#COMP_LINE}"); }
$ complete -F a a
$ a å a<TAB>
from the generated completion list, we can see two different numbers,
which means these two value are not the same!!
