The new read -E option is a nice addition.
I think it's not unreasonable for a completion function to itself invoke
`read' (with a file or pipe as input, not a tty) and this mostly works out
fine, unless the -d option is used since the builtin stores the delimiter
arg in a static variable:
Thanks for the suggestion. This looks reasonable.
