bash + compose keys oddity



Just out of interest, why does this happen?  If I accidentally use
compose keys for e-acute (right-alt-' e) in bash, a massive list of 
reserved words appears?  I'll reproduce the end of it below (with
line-breaks added):
 
update-default-aspell update-default-ispell update-default-wordlist
 update-dictcommon-aspell update-dlocatedb update-exim4.conf
