Brian, in bash 1.03 there is an interesting mis-feature.

I have a file called gcc*' that I want to remove so I type in

	rm -i gcc<TAB>

and I get exaclty what I expected.  But after hitting return, I
realized that what I expected was wrong, and what I should have expected
was a completion of gcc\*\' not gcc*'.  Could you extend bash to quote
funny characters when doing completions.

Thanks.
