This didn't apply after 6689, so here is a modified patch for that --
with some other changes (I hope you find them acceptable). The list
looks more like a select list and I avoided using `compgen -s'.

Hm, `compgen -s', maybe we should document it that this is almost
always unnecessary (after 6692). Or maybe we should even disallow the
`-s' option for `compgen'.

BUT: thank you for sharing your completion functions with us. I'd like 
to see more of this.

Bye
 Sven
