Hm... (I think)Once we add our own `\' to escape the unit name, the
compgen tests fails to match units. (lines 116, 121 and 225)
That can be avoided in a hack-ish way by escaping `cur' with
`cur=${cur//\\/\\\\}' but when completing the unit like 'dev-<tab> (with
the quote) the additional `\' are still inserted.

So... i'll look more into it, i may be over thinking it. :D
