Feature request: handle hyphens as well as slashes #29

Description

@mernst

Emacs's partial completion feature handles segments within a file name that are separated by hyphens (as well as entire directory components like bash-complete-partial-path does).

For instance, an Emacs user can type "b-c-p-pTAB" (or even "bcppTAB") to complete "bash-complete-partial-path/" (but further disambiguation would be needed if "british-columbia-provincial-park/" appeared in the same directory).

I would find this extremely helpful, especially when navigating large directories or directories with many similarly-named components (files and/or directories).

Thanks!
