} So it does for you, too.


Sven, what you're missing is that although the result is correct after
you execute the command, the completion is not correct while the command
line is being built.  That is, if the completion system is going to turn
the file name `a\ b' into the string `"a\\ b"' when it inserts it on the
line, then `compset -q' should also UNDO the backslash-doubling again
when the quote character is a double-quote, so that it's possible to
correctly complete the file path on the second and subsequent calls to
the completion system.
