287 that necessitates the time consuming expansion of many symbol
290 - The completer's idea of least common denominator (aka the common
291 prefix) between all completion matches to hand over to readline.
292 Some completers provide matches that don't start with the
293 completion "word". E.g., completing on "b push_ba" on a C++
294 program usually completes to std::vector<...>::push_back,
295 std::string::push_back etc. If all matches happen to start with
296 "std::", then readline would figure out that the lowest common
297 denominator is "std::", and thus would do a partial completion
298 with that. I.e., it would replace "push_ba" in the input buffer
299 with "std::", losing the original "push_ba", which is obviously
300 undesirable. To avoid that, such completers pass the substring
301 of the match that matters for common denominator computation as
