I've removed the statement for now, since it was being used incorrectly
anyway, but for the future I suggest that NetBSD catch up, if it wants to
stay compatible.
- Variable: char * rl_special_prefixes The list of characters that are word break characters, but should be left
inTEXT when it is passed to the completion function. Programs can use this to help determine what kind of completing
to do. For instance, Bash sets this variable to "$@" so that it can complete shell variables and hostnames.
