[Bug 697399] Re: Completion of directories stored in a var with cd is weirdly broken

[Peter Cordes]

fixed sometime before trusty.  Except that  cd "$dir"/<tab> doesn't
expand or complete any subdirs in /etc.  So probably something was
getting evalled too many times, and it isn't now, or just code changes
makes it work differently now.
