Attached patch adds a possible test, and fixes the truncation problem I mentioned above.
I tried testing set_completer_delims() with a UTF-8 locale, but I suspect Gnu Readline does not support it. I called set_completer_delims("\xF6"), which encodes as C3 B6, but it seems to be breaking any UTF-8 sequence in half at a C3 byte. In other words, it is treating the delimiter list as a list of bytes, not code points. So I changed to an ASCII delimiter.
