Bug in guess what?



I think I've got all the patches to date (I certainly hope so), but I'm
still getting problems with the following completion:

% _foo() { [[ -string '=' ]] && complist -f; }
% defcomp _foo foo
% foo bar=^D

now pauses for a long time, then asks if I want to see its list of 1931
completions, which I don't much but they seem to be external commands
(except that there are 2757 of those and I get them much more quickly).
-class does the same.  However, the following works splendidly.

_foo() {   
  if [[ $PREFIX = *'='* ]]; then
    IPREFIX=${PREFIX%%=*}=
    PREFIX=${PREFIX#*=}
    complist -f
  fi
}

(And maybe it's just me, but sometimes when I look at set -x output from
these things, PREFIX is full of \'s (such as \= in the above), and
sometimes they're not there.  I haven't worked this out, but maybe it's not
important.)
