Hmm, I've never endorsed nor recommended such a notation myself ;-)
I tend to prefer writing it like so instead:
sh -c '...' -
so that I won't clobber "f" (or any other name). I wonder if you
can help users of this other pattern as well.

I suspect that "scanning" is error-prone. I like this one for its
cuteness very much, though:

Is it only "f" that is completed, or can I spell it using another
arbitrary token, e.g.
test_config alias.co "!co () { git checkout ... } co"
