Ok, I see. You are right.As I understand, compgen designed to be used from within a shell function generating possible completions to use readline and BASH logic, written in C. It not to process the part of specification, which is realized with BASH by design.
I was mistaken by the phrase from BASH man page "The matches will be generated in the same way as...".
But how do you think, is it not a good feature to bring ability to use any complete specification with compgen and get according results?
It would dramatically improve ability of BASH completion system to be used in non-interactive mode as I think.
