Ah, this means the argument parsing function being used by pcomplete
for shell-mode is not good enough. Since that is entirely
customizable, it could be fixed without touching pcomplete.
I guess it depends on whether RMS wants to try to make pcomplete work
or not. If so, then I should probably use the old completion logic's
argument parsing function for use with pcomplete.
