completion regression?


Completion doesn't seem to work as well as it used to, e.g in version 5.2.  The
manual doesn't differentiate but AFAICS there are three types: command,
filename and location.  Successful completion now always leaves a trailing
space but its only really needed for commands (so following words can then be
typed).  It's not needed for locations and is a nuisance for filenames because
using it on a filename requires the space to be deleted after successfully
completing on each component/directory.  It used to add a slash instead, which
is much more useful.
