Your patch fixes the issue with a minor other issue, which is purely
cosmetic.

This always insert a space, whether it's needed or not. Basically,
with my original scenario:

  hugo@buena /tmp% touch test
  hugo@buena /tmp% alias myfoobarcat=cat
  hugo@buena /tmp% cat test

Then:

  hugo@buena /tmp% myfoob[]

Tab:

  hugo@buena /tmp% myfoobarcat []

smart-insert-last-word:

  hugo@buena /tmp% myfoobarcat test[]

smart-insert-last-word again:

  hugo@buena /tmp% myfoobarcattest  myfoobarcat=cat[]

So the first call to smart-insert-last-word did put a space between
myfoobarcat and test, but the second call added another leading space
between myfoobarcattest and myfoobarcat=cat. This extra space should
only be added if the previous word was generated by a completion
function, FWICT.

Again, this is purely cosmetic IMO.

Regards,

Hugo
