show matching part before "Display all 111 possibilities?"

[Dan Jacobson]

Bash knows a little something that since it will tell you anyway, I
think it should tell you sooner than later.

Consider when we answer "n" to "Display all 111 possibilities?"

Bash is going to put the common matching part on the command line.
Well, why not put it there before asking the question?  You put it
there anyway, after we give our "n" answer, no harm in putting it
there before instead, no?

$ touch  `seq -f %05g 1 111`
$ emacs <TAB>
Display all 111 possibilities? (y or n) n
$ emacs 00[cursor now resting here]

the
$ emacs <TAB>
line should have the 00 stuck onto it before asking the question, not
after.  Indeed, probably the need for many "y" answers could be
avoided thus.
