Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Consider this command:

  foo $'foo \' bar'

As far as the bash core is concerned, this command has one argument
word. But readline, for completion, splits it up into three words:

  0: foo
  1: $'abc \'
  2: bar'

Shouldn't we be splitting the command line into the same number of words?=
