complete -C'echo $HOM ' would complete $HOM instead of a new token.
Fixes another regression introduced in
6fb7f9b6b - Fix completion for builtins with subcommands
This commit recognizes an existing pattern: many operations need some
combination of a set of variables, a way to detect cancellation, and
sometimes a parser. For example, tab completion needs a parser to execute
custom completions, the variable set, should cancel on SIGINT. Background
autosuggestions don't need a parser, but they do need the variables and
should cancel if the user types something new. Etc.
This introduces a new triple operation_context_t that wraps these concepts
up. This simplifies many method signatures and argument passing.
This adds initial support for statements with prefixed variable assignments.
Statments like this are supported:
a=1 b=$a echo $b # outputs 1
Just like in other shells, the left-hand side of each assignment must
be a valid variable identifier (no quoting/escaping). Array indexing
(PATH[1]=/bin ls $PATH) is *not* yet supported, but can be added fairly
easily.
The right hand side may be any valid string token, like a command
substitution, or a brace expansion.
Since `a=* foo` is equivalent to `begin set -lx a *; foo; end`,
the assignment, like `set`, uses nullglob behavior, e.g. below command
can safely be used to check if a directory is empty.
x=/nothing/{,.}* test (count $x) -eq 0
Generic file completion is done after the equal sign, so for example
pressing tab after something like `HOME=/` completes files in the
root directory
Subcommand completion works, so something like
`GIT_DIR=repo.git and command git ` correctly calls git completions
(but the git completion does not use the variable as of now).
The variable assignment is highlighted like an argument.
Closes#6048
Presently the completion engine ignores builtins that are part of the
fish syntax. This can be a problem when completing a string that was
based on the output of `commandline -p`. This changes completions to
treat these builtins like any other command.
This also disables generic (filename) completion inside comments and
after strings that do not tokenize.
Additionally, comments are stripped off the output of `commandline -p`.

Consider a group of short options, like -xzPARAM, where x and z are options and z takes an argument.
This commit enables completion of the argument to the last option (z), both within the same
token (-xzP) or in the next one (-xz P).
complete -C'-xz' will complete only parameters to z.
complete -C'-xz ' will complete only parameters to z if z requires a parameter
otherwise, it will also complete non-option parameters
To do so this implements a heuristic to differentiate such strings from single long options. To
detect whether our token contains some short options, we only require the first character after the
dash (here x) to be an option. Previously, all characters had to be short options. The last option
in our example is z. Everything after the last option is assumed to be a parameter to the last
option.
Assume there is also a single long option -x-foo, then complete -C'-x' will suggest both -x-foo and
-xy. However, when the single option x requires an argument, this will not suggest -x-foo.
However, I assume this will almost never happen in practise since completions very rarely mix
short and single long options.
Fixes#332
we now print --long options for ones I arbitrarily decided
are less likely to be remembered.
Also fixed the `--wraps` items at the end not being escaped
Most of our completion scripts are written using the short options
anyhow, and this makes it less likely the output will span several
lines per command
