What version of the bash_completion library do you use? Lazy-loading
was introduced in version 1.90.
If you put
foobar() {
echo hi
}
. /etc/bash_completion
then is your private foobar unclobbered?
To answer your demand before for a function in the public interface of
a completion script, not library, which respects or does not respect
the bash-completion convention: see the public _rpm_installed_packages
helper from the rpm completion script[1].
If you don't like the convention or think that I have misunderstood
it, I can understand that and would recommend that you suggest a
different one and get it adopted and documented by the bash_completion
project.
