It would be nice to have a general completion feature like this.

Until that happens, maybe you will find the following patch useful.
It makes MH folder name completion work with bash.  The diffs are
relative to version 1.14.2.

I realize that changes to readline.c and and complete.c are not good
since they add some MH-specific stuff to the readline code and not to
bash, but when I first wrote this, I had no idea what else to do.

Chet, would you consider adding this if it were cleaned up a bit?
Made optional with cpp conditionals?

This feature has been very useful to me for the last several years
(since about 1.05 or 1.06, I think).

Thanks,
