Thanks for the pointer. I reported it there (
https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/52 ).
After further investigation, the problem seems to be that when IFS is
set to '*', case *) doesn't get executed. Is this the intended
behavior?
For example:
IFS='*'; case "foo" in *) echo "got here";; esac
doesn't print "got here".
