Well it shows that bash has the ability to customise the tab completion. I think this is a new feature of bash. Before that file-completion was hardcoded in.

No, I don't think it's new at all. From Ian McDonald's site, Working more productively with bash 2.x/3.x[1]:

> A relatively new feature in bash is programmable completion, which has been available since the beta version of 2.04.

Taking a quick look at Bash's official downloads site[2], Bash 2.04 was released in March of 2000.
