+The patch below would get rid of the error message (and completion, for\r
+that matter) when _init_completion is not present.\r
+\r
+I'm not sure whether this is the way to go, or should we rather check\r
+for a recent enough bash-completion during configure, or\r
+recommend/suggest it, or what. The error message does tell us what's\r
+wrong, although it's annoying for the user (probably more so than just\r
