Cool! I never noticed that was there before...
So now for my own pet bash completion peeve: Having to hit tab twice
when dealing with a symlink to a directory. Can this be changed in
/etc/bash_completion so that symlinks to directories will behave
identically to real directories? (A quick grep for "sym" shows that
it does not appear in the file and grepping man bash for "completion"
and "symbolic" didn't turn up anything useful.) Or, better, is there
a way to make this change on a per-user basis?
