I need to make this part of the FAQ.  The `:' is special to readline:  it
splits words for the word completion code.

The default set of such characters is available in the COMP_WORDBREAKS
variable.  Removing `:' from the value of that variable should produce
the behavior you want.

Something like

COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}

will do the job.
