Re: [Help-bash] programmable completions via compgen -F

[Муравьев Александр]

Ok, I see. You are right.

As I understand, compgen designed to be used from within  a shell 
function generating possible completions to use readline and BASH logic, 
written in C. It not to process the part of specification, which is 
realized with BASH by design.

I was mistaken by the phrase from BASH man page "The matches will be 
generated in the same way as...".

But how do you think, is it not a good feature to bring ability to use 
any complete specification with compgen and get according results?

It would dramatically improve ability of BASH completion system to be 
used in non-interactive mode as I think.
