BASH set comment output

If you ever run the set command and get any of the function definitions listed at the bottom of this entry then check your .bashrc file for the following entry.

# enable programmable completion features (you don’t need to enable
# this, if it’s already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi

If it is not commented out then it is likely that name completion has been activated elsewhere. Comment it out and start a new shell to see if it helps.
