I was also making the assumption that using a list for ⎋ completion  
would be more efficient than using a shell command, although it could  
be the case that the difference isn't really noticeable. However,  
both the functions.txt and the completions preferences file are  
automatically generated from PHP source, so there is no issue with  
maintenance.
