I just checked and found that I actually write this in my bashrc:

complete -A helptopic help

But after bash loads my bashrc the compspec was changed to:

# complete -p help
complete -b help
#

And even ``helptopic'' does not show ``coproc'' either:

# compgen -A helptopic co
command
compgen
complete
compopt
continue
#

Should ``coproc'' be included in ``-A helptopic''?
