fix(man): avoid duplicated man page and dir completions#787
Conversation
If a directory with the same name as an already found man page candidate from manpath is present, they both end up in completions as a duplicate with the trailing slash included. To work around, skip file based completion altogether when a man page from manpath is among found candidates. A workaround for the workaround, i.e. "forcing" file based completion, is to prefix the argument with a `./`. Closes #420

There was a problem hiding this comment.
We could instead loop through the completions found before start below and check and remove duplicates from file based ones, but that'd be very slow when there are lots of man page completions from man path (e.g. man <TAB> gives 9000+ on the system I'm looking at).
