Consistent bash-completion if a command is not found

[antonstefanov]

Hey,
it seems that if a command is not found, the fallback file autocompletion does not work the same as the standard bash autocompletion:

CURRENT
some-cmd folder-na(tab) -> some-cmd folder-name
currently the folder name is inserted, including a space at the end

PROPOSED
some-cmd folder-na(tab) -> some-cmd folder-name/
In the current bash versions the folder name is inserted with a slash at the end, allowing you to chain folder paths

With this change bash will decide how to handle the autocompletion.

tested on

MacOS 10.14

I like this, but I would also like to get feedback from the original contributor.

@antonstefanov thank you for the contribution -- next we just need someone to finally implement Zsh completion 😛

[bcoe]

@antonstefanov please try npm i yargs@next it should have your modifications to bash completions.

hey @bcoe nice, it works, I'm not using Zsh though (probably should), and can't help with the implementation
