Subject: Re: menu-select doesn't respect COMPLETE_IN_WORD option

I found a partial solution by adding the _prefix completer (along with the
complete_in_word option). However, as you said, the complete_in_word option
also matches the trailing part when using menu-complete/select, which I
don't prefer. It does work when the trailing part doesn't match anything
though.
