Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 30
Release Status: release

Description:
	Bash has incomplete documentation for builtins in `complete.def`. The [-abcdefgjksuv] options to specify
	types to complete are not documented. This is making writing completions some kind of black magic.
	
	All those correspondence can be found in complete.def. More specifically, compacts[].
	
	/* By the way is anyone going to assign those '\0's so we can do even more things? */

Repeat-By:
	help compgen, help complete, info bash, man bash.

Fix:
	Write approporiate doc for this. I only need a transcription of compacts[] so I can look it up without Luking it.
