If you read further in that thread, you'll find a message I sent out on
9/2 containing a patch that adds a `direxpand' option. The new option
is intended to restore the bash-4.1 behavior of performing word expansion
on variables in directory names when completing. It works pretty well;
there are a couple of rough edges that will be worked out.
Look for <4e612f5b.5040...@case.edu>.
