[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #7584] Make filename completion more sensible by removing three characters from the word break list

[Philipp Kutin]

Follow-up Comment #6, patch #7584 (project octave):

Attached is a patch implementing working file name completion (well, tested
only with sane file names). The basic issue is that Readline gives us the line
broken with the chars in the command-word-break set, but they are too much for
file name completion (e.g. they contain "~", "-"...). Thus, we have to get our
hands on the original line AND the bounds of what Readline considers the
broken word in it. Then we hook into that break according to a reduced char
set.

The actual patch is make-file-name-completion-work-1.patch. The other file,
completion-working-1-DEBUG.diff, is just a bare diff where the code in
input.cc has some debugging lines added (writing diagnostics to
"/home/pk/octave/compl").
