I have the same problem with a new user too. However I noticed something
interesting. The following is a session demonstrating it.
$ function find_ext() { echo "dummy fn"; }
$ complete -F _find find_ext
$ complete -p find_ext
complete -F _find find_ext
$ complete -p find
-bash: complete: find: no completion specification
$ find_ext [TAB] -bash: completion: function `_find' not found
However, if now I try to complete for find, it works.
$ find -t [TAB] [TAB]
-true -type
This somehow loads the completion functions dynamically
$ complete -p find
complete -F _find find
And now I can complete with my wrapper function!
$ find_ext -t [TAB] [TAB]
-true -type
I guess that means I have to figure out how this dynamic loading works
and I have to change my "complete -F <completion_fn> <wrapper>" calls
accordingly.
Thanks a lot for the help and discussion. :)
