Oh, I missed that.  Thanks.

What do people think about adding "set -o tabcomplete" to /etc/shrc?

Changing tabcomplete to treat the first word specially (look for
commands instead of files)?

Implementing braceexpand?  (Which should definitely be off in sh's
built-in defaults, because it breaks script compatibility.)

If all that was done, I could stop using bash.
