Re: address@hidden: some other observations on pcomplete]

[Richard Stallman]

    These behaviors are all configurable.  Perhaps we should simple tell
    shell.el to configure pcomplete so that it behaves like Emacs'
    standard (and dumb yet straightforward) completion.

That could be an ok solution if it really achieves the effect.  But
why have the overhead of loading pcomplete just to get the same
results as before?  It seems better just to revert the change; people
who want pcomplete behavior can rebind those characters to run pcomplete
easily enough.
