Given this function with completion:
$ LC_ALL=C bash --norc
bash-5.2$ f() { :; } && complete -A user f
Pressing tab at the end of this line completes to root as expected:
bash-5.2$ f abc ro
But this does not offer any completions, even though the backslash is
escaped:
bash-5.2$ f \; ro
This completes to /dev/null:
bash-5.2$ f \; /dev/nu
