Hm. So maybe undoing that locally is a possibility ... is there some way,
either in a user's configuration or within a single completion function, to
turn off the "end with the same substring" completion, while maintaining
the dash-separates-words aspect of the completion, so that
k --r<TAB>
is considered fully ambiguous, and either cycles through the options or
lists the ambiguous completions, while
k --r-r-w<TAB>
would consider --really-r1-word unambiguous and complete only it?
I think that would be a decent compromise in my mind.
Thanks,
Danek
