Ah.  All that talking, but I was not addressing your actual point.

I though you didn't believe that the namespace adopted by the bash_completion project was "identifiers starting with underscore, plus a few old identifiers that have been grandfathered in".

But in fact, you just don't like namespace conventions.

Now I'm exhausted so I have no time to explain why a project that involves implicitly including scripts from a wide variety of authors into a flat namespace shared with others might end up using a convention to manage that namespace. But at least the world seems a little saner. Sorry for the wasted time.

Please, next time just say what you mean instead of leaving me talking about something irrelevant.
