Allow using colon, semicolon and equal sign in completions

[DannyBen]

Raised and discussed in #66

This PR temporarily (locally) removes three characters from the list of word break characters: colon, semicolon, equal sign.

I think I need to add these approvals to my setup for scripts, looks really neat.

Changewise, I like that the change is sensibly small, local and reverted after its use.

rspec_approvals is a massive time saver for my tests, even more so in command line utilities.

I will merge. Release will be coming later this week (you can use the edge in the meantime).

It seems like the locally set env-var does not work as intended. With the generated script, I did not get the intended completion-behaviour. Maybe hold off on a release, I'd like to try to fix this today or tomorrow.

[DannyBen]

You are right. I think that disabling it broke it.
Placing it right before calling complete:

COMP_WORDBREAKS="${COMP_WORDBREAKS//[:=]/}" complete -F _asd_completions asd

works, but seems to affect the global state.

EDIT: Does not work.

npm had a similar problem: npm/npm@d7271b8

I thought that the setting inside the function would be the elegant and correct solution. That's what I get for thinking, I guess...

I see that they reverted?
Setting the environment variable globally is definitely not a solution, due to the sourced nature of completion scripts.

There must be a way to change this temporarily - did you follow the npm thread to see if they solved it in a different way? Or did they just revert and left it unsolved?

I was unable to get any better solutions from any of the chat AIs.

[kronn]

They reverted the way with the env-var, not their custom parsing: https://github.com/npm/cli/blob/latest/lib/utils/completion.sh

I'll try and see if I can get it to work similarly.

[DannyBen]

Should I revert this PR, or are you trying to make it work?

[kronn]

Both. :-)
Sorry for the late repsonse.

If I get to a solution, I'll send a PR.
