The patch below should make it return a string only if the subscript
does not contain a comma. I.e. with $a being an array, $a[1] gives a
string and $a[1,1] gives an array. Seems sensible, doesn't it?

compgetmatch() parsed the pattern in the static pattern buffer which
was then overwritten by the singsub(). The patch makes it return a
heap duplicate for the pattern if there is a replstr. It's a pity.
