sort completion list numerically

sort completion list numerically

[Andrej Borsenkow]

Is it possible to sort lists numerically, so that foo-2.3.10 comes after
foo-2.3.9? Ideally, this should apply to every part so that the order would
be

foo-2.3.9
foo-2.3.10
foo-2.10.1

I don't think so, but what happens if you `setopt numeric_glob_sort'?

} Ideally, this should apply to every part

What defines a "part"?  A match spec?  Which match spec, if there are
several?

The best way I can think of would be to have the function that generates
the matches put them into the correct ordering and then add them with
compadd -V, but that may mean re-inventing a whole lot of the completion
system ...

Actually, it does exactly what I want in this case (incuding proper sorting
of 1.2.3 and 1.10.3). Wonder.

Naaa, I've added some time ago on user request.  And wondered why I
didn't have that idea myself...
