There's a name clash for "enable" / "disable" between the shell builtins
and external commands for enabling/disabling printers.

You probably had that there so that typing enable or disable would
get you the external commands instead of the builtins. That line
disables the builtins. So if you remove that line, you'll have to type
/bin/enable explicitly to enable printers.

I'm not quite sure what the completion system is running enable for but
it probably ought to check $builtins[enable] to check for this
situation. You're probably not the only person to have the disabled
enable.

I've also run into problems with completion relying on pushd in one
place as I disable (and replace) pushd.
