It's been with us for a long time, but the last non-cosmetic patch for it was made in 2007, which seems surprisingly long for a 90KB file. I also have some reservations w.r.t to this file because it uses the "completion-" prefix which I'd rather use for the meaning of "TAB completion", and because it is not very namespace-clean (uses various prefixes plus several non-prefixed functions). IOW, I'd be happy to declare it obsolete. Stefan
