I'd be interested in knowing what makes bash-completion inherently more
hackish and fragile than say, python.el's native completion? AFAICT
both essentially use a dedicated buffer to send completion queries to an
inferior process.
I may not have been thorough enough when reading either library's code
though, so maybe I missed something.
