Add -f flag to force loading completions #35

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Especially during development, it would be nice to have an additional flag
-f when invoking bash_completion_lib:

    . bash_completion_lib -f

This -f flag should let bash_completion_lib *really* load completions (looping
through $COMP_PATH) instead of exitting prematurely in case $COMP_VERSION or
$COMP_CACHE is set.

Flow diagram:
