But it does not emulate _rl_find_completion_word perfectly:
/* complete_line assumes that its first argument is somewhere
within, and except for filenames at the beginning of, the word to
be completed. The following crude imitation of readline's
word-breaking tries to accomodate this. */

So OK, if you have coded it already and gdb_test "complete ..." is not
a perfect replacement I agree it should be kept just with your patch.
Thanks,
