[Bug 890913] Re: Typing "prg $HOME/<tab>" expands to "prg \$HOME/"

[Mathew Hodson]

On Trusty,

$ prg $HOME/fil<Tab>

produces

$ prg /home/mathew/file.txt

Is this still an issue? Does it affect Precise?

Title:
  Typing "prg $HOME/<tab>" expands to "prg \$HOME/"

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Typing "prg $HOME/<tab>" expands to "prg \$HOME/" quite annoying,
  shall expand to "prg $HOME/" listing all directories and files
  available for expansion, not creating an escaped string from $HOME. It
  should KEEP $HOME, not expanding it to your home directory as with
  some program named done!
