No time to test right now, but is this not going to
1) leave IFS as hidden even outside the completion script, possibly
affecting unrelated scripts that would need to set IFS as local and keep
its special effect?
2) break cases where strings are to be split on \n only (e.g. see
"foo bar\nboz" as three possible completions "foo", "bar", "boz" instead
of "foo bar" and "boz"?
