I'm a bit puzzled about escaping spaces, actually. Now the string in
the prompt is broken down to words in order to use the last one for
finding new completions: this is what makes it possible to complete a
command and then complete a file path. How can I tell which space must
be escaped and which is not to be escaped?

I think we should just replicate the behavior of a command line: you
must manually escape characters, and I must take that into account when
splitting the string.

Am I right? What do you think?
