Good point. I'll go with dropping -L in the bash completion, I think.
Guess we could do something like the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ approach with
local context pmdas, to specify all that should be open when clients
open local contexts, but probably overkill at this stage (but perhaps
thats worth thinking about, instead of putting -K in all the tools?).
Hmmm, probably not a good time to be suggesting that, now that all the
work is done ... :)
