I took your argument seriously and looked for evidence myself, and in the absence of evidence I'm still not throwing it away, I'm assuming it has merit and added code to make sure we don't override some user function that has the same name. That would solve the problem you raised
Ah. All that talking, but I was not addressing your actual point. I though you didn't believe that the namespace adopted by the bash_completion project was "identifiers starting with underscore, plus a few old identifiers that have been grandfathered in". But in fact, you just don't like namespace conventions. Now I'm exhausted so I have no time to explain why a project that involves implicitly including scripts from a wide variety of authors into a flat namespace shared with others might end up using a convention to manage that namespace. But at least the world seems a little saner. Sorry for the wasted time. Please, next time just say what you mean instead of leaving me talking about something irrelevant.
