I mean the function itself does not rely on the compgen, but I call
compgen through such a function so the compgen would be executed in
the main shell. If I understand this report correctly, it changes the
state of Readline. But I'm not sure if it affects any observable
behavior in my specific setup because I re-implement the entire
completion so these `compgen's are not called from inside the readline
bindable function `complete'. Do you think calling `compgen', which
leaves the state of `compopt -o filenames', etc., outside the bindable
function `compete' would affect any behaviors?
