The problem is that completion scripts are often included implicitly in .profile through the bash completion machinery. Users do not have to explicitly ask for them, so there is no reason for users to expect that the function name "more_cowbell" is dangerous to use in .profile because some day the completion script for the "more" command will start using it. Because of these considerations, the convention is that every identifier provided by a completion script, including public ones, starts with an underscore. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
