# Completion examples

#
# This encapsulates the default bash completion code
# call with the word to be completed as $1
#
# Since programmable completion does not use the bash default completions
# or the readline default of filename completion when the compspec does
# not generate any matches, this may be used as a `last resort' in a
# completion function to mimic the default bash completion behavior.
