If you create this file:
touch -- \''-#%.!$&(),;@[]^`{}=_~+9zZ'
Then enter "touch", "Tab", "Tab", you get this:
touch \'-#%.\!\$\&\(\)\,\;\@\[\]\^\`\{\}\=_~+9zZ
So the shell is saying that these characters need to be escaped:
' ! $ & ( ) , ; @ [ ] ^ ` { } =
but they dont, not all of them:
$ (set -x; true \' \! \$ \& \( \) \, \; \@ \[ \] \^ \` \{ \} \=)
+ true \' '!' '$' '&' '(' ')' , ';' @ '[' ']' '^' '`' '{' '}' =
Notice carefully that the shell removes escaping for these:
, @ =
but tab completion is adding it. Is this an issue of Readline or Cygwin?
