I see. Maybe it is more consistent, and the code would be simpler.

I'm not sure either if there is really a use case for checkwinsize in
the programmable-completion context, but I recall that Fzf introduces
a TUI selection menu triggered by completions for a certain word like
**, for which the terminal window size is needed (but Fzf is
implemented in a different language, Go lang).
