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
update-exim4.conf.template update-exim4defaults update-fmtutil
