Ah, my favorite pastime: fiddling with get_comp_string(). Urgh.

It appears that this was a bad interaction with the code for control
structures. When reaching the word the cursor is on, it tested if it
had reached that before and if it had, it stopped looking
further. This was wrong when it was working on a `...` or $(...) string.
