Yeah, I don't think it's possible to remove the prefix and suffix with
Bash builtins in a single operation.

Indeed, will do.

Bash will sort and deduplicate the completion words anyway, so we
don't have to. Sometimes we do deduplicate them, though, but either
to make testing easier or for performance reasons; in this case
neither of them applies.

That's just for good measure, but not really necessasry here, as that
primarily tests that 'git config' lists the section and variable names
(but not the subsection!) normalized to lowercase, no matter what
CaMeLCase the user might have written them.
