Description Rene Ladan 2004-07-15 00:00:33 UTC 
	In en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics/chapter.sgml rev 1.126,
	line 1950 'complete to' should be replaced by 'complete further than'

	'foobar' and 'foo.bar' are identical up to 'foo', which is where
	the shell can complete to. It cannot complete further than that without
	first asking for more user input.

Fix: 

see above.
How-To-Repeat: 	n/a

No, 'complete to' is correct.  'complete further than' would be
incorrect.  The shell would not be able to complete further than 'foo'
because it doesn't know if a 'b' or '.' would be next.

That what the existing text says.  Please re-read it, and then confirm
that I can close this PR.

" Both foobar and foo.bar start with fo, but it was able to complete to
 foo. If you type in ., then hit Tab again, the shell would be able to
 fill in the rest of the filename for you."
