Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release

Description:
        bash allows declaring functions with a name that contains `*'.
        In the output of `complete -p', those function names will not be
        quoted which makes the output of `complete -p' output not safe
        to pass to `eval' or output to a file that will be read by
        `source'.

        I think bash should quote the arguments to `-F' in the output of
        `complete -p'.

Repeat-By:
        bash-5.1$ a*x () { echo hi ;}

        bash-5.1$ 'a*x'
        hi

        bash-5.1$ complete -W 'something something' -F 'a*x' hello

        bash-5.1$ complete -p hello
        complete -W 'something something' -F a*x hello
