YAPCQ (Yet Another Programmable Completion Question)

[Richard S. Smith]

I'm a ClearCase user, and ClearCase provides many opportunities to do
cool stuff using programmable completion.  When one is in a ClearCase-
controlled filsystem, the filenames are "sticky" and there are special
commands you can use to access a file's entire version history.

Without getting into excessive detail, here is what I want to do.
Let's say I have a function called "clearcase_complete_file" that does
ClearCase-enhanced filename completion.  It's easy enough to bind this
function to specific ClearCase commands, but what if I want to make it
into a generalized function that works in any filename context,
regardless of what command I'm using?

What I want is some way to hook the default readline-based behavior
and have it use my function instead.  The other way to win would be to
bind my special function to a keyboard sequence using .inputrc or some
comparable mechanism.

Any ideas?  Thanks, as always.
