I didn't think of that. I've done that in the _bash_completion
function. I can't see that it would be particularly useful to have in
_main_complete (matches added by a compadd running in a subshell are
lost anyway).

It's not likely to be so useful though because job completion is most
useful with builtins for which we have perfectly good zsh completions
already. But it is nice to have for completeness.

I've attached an update patch which does this job stuff, fixes
$COMP_POINT and does complete -r. Only thing it doesn't do now is
complete bash help topics. The second (mime) attachment is the 4.0 back
port.

Any ideas on where in the manual I should mention this function? It
only needs a couple of lines. The User Contributions chapter seems to
cover stuff in the Functions directory. Or would it be better mentioned
in the FAQ?
