Current Behavior

By default PowerShell tab completion for executables adds a .exe extension, but carapace expects programs to not have have an extension to lazy load the completions. I was able to work around this by modifying the init script:

Invoke-Expression -Command (Out-String -InputObject (carapace.exe _carapace 'powershell')).Replace('$commandAst.CommandElements[0].Value', 'Split-Path -LeafBase -Path "$($commandAst.CommandElements[0].Value)"')

Expected Behavior

I'd expect the carapace init script to complete executables with and without the 'exe' extension by default.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Use the default init script (carapace.exe _carapace powershell).
  2. Try tab completing a program that has a completer using the .exe extension (bat.exe).
  3. Now, remove the .exe extension and tab completion works.
  4. After it loads the completer, now completion works for the '.exe' extension when it didn't before.
