Usually people do `COMPREPLY=($(compgen ...))' (or write to stdout in
a command specified with `complete -C') so nothing persists anyway,
right?

I don't know if there's really any use case that generates completions
to place into COMPREPLY by running compgen in the foreground so it's
hard for me to imagine a use case that benefits from the readline
state being modified.
