I noticed bash completion for lei gets really slow with gigantic
candidate lists. It's not lei's fault, rather bash being
inefficient when fed a gigantic list:

I've already got a lot on my plate in public-inbox itself, so
hopefully another C hacker here can optimize it for us.
(I figure there's more people proficient with C reading this
inbox than there are with Perl, maybe I'm wrong...)
