Re latest changes in [1], we need to preserve quoting also for any of
the following characters, at least if they are in a bracket
expression:
! - . : = ^

Attached patch does so but is probably more complicated than necessary.

Also, there's a mention of changes to complete.def in the changelog
but it looks like the actual changes didn't make it into the commit.
