Redirection moved to the front wrongly affects completions #1186

Here we see redirection moved to the front wrongly affects completions.

$ cat --<TAB> < a.txt
--help --number --number-nonblank --show-all --show-ends...
$ < a.txt cat --<TAB>
<BEEP>

cat is just one example.

It seems sooner or later you will have to "simply have bash itself do the first stage of the parsing" if possible... Only it knows all the intricacies of the language.

How is this different from #900?

Well this duplicate has a better title :-)
