Hi there,
One of the nice features that shell-command.el provides is completion in
shell-command (key: M-!).
http://namazu.org/~tsuchiya/elisp/shell-command.el
It seems very nice. Do you think it is a good idea to include that?
HTH,

I think it should use pcomplete. But that requires for someone to take over
maintenance of pcomplete and to change pcomplete's defaults so they more
closely mimick the traditional completion behavior in the rest of Emacs.

I just noticed that this package does not work any more in Emacs
(grabbed from CVS 20070727, unicode2 branch). Do you know what might be
causing the breakage?

No idea. would you have a more useful diagnostic than "it fails", maybe?

There is no error message, it is just not doing its work, i.e. now when
I enter shell command partially (M-!) and hit TAB, no completion at all, for
example 'rp TAB' used to expand to 'rpm' but not any more.
