The options="${options/ $i / }" substitution in a loop is cute. The
third argument to this helper is an IFS separated list of regular
expressions to match options that we do not want to see in the
completion, so
__gitcomp_builtin foo '' '--a[^ ]*'
presumably would exclude all options whose names begin with 'a' ;-).
