I don\t mind giving it another try, but I don't have high hopes.
In any case, I still wonder why this should be part of the tree, no matter what
will happen with it.

It's been a while since I last tried it; I like idea in general, but /i don't
like tools getting in the way -- and bash_completion definitely was in the
latter camp. I've also removed it from my Linux installation back then, so I
don't know if it changed in the mean time, I'm just sure it wasn't Haiku
specific at all.
