a bug was reported that prevented TAB completion from working properly in
Cygwin when the "c:/" synonym for "/cygdrive/c" was used. Because ":" is
considered whitespace for completion for setting PATH, it breaks completion
when you use c:/.
There was a "workaround" -- quote the ":", which is pretty painful when you
have to type it dozens or hundreds of times a day. How often do you set
PATH!?
The bug was reported in 2002, and the reporter said he had a fix. The bug
is still present. Could we reconsider accepting this fix so Cygwin users
don't have to fight this hack zillions of times a day?
