Our vsh bash completion string is merely just a wrapper over virsh/virt-admin complete (cmdComplete) - a hidden command that uses internal readline completion to generate list of candidates. But this means that we have to pass some additional arguments to the helper process: e.g. connection URI and R/O flag. Candidates are printed on a separate line each (and can contain space), which means that when bash is reading the helper's output into an array, it needs to split items on '\n' char - hence the IFS=$'\n' prefix on the line executing the helper. This was introduced in b889594a70. But this introduced a regression - those extra arguments we might pass are stored in a string and previously were split on a space character (because $IFS was kept untouched and by default contains space). But now, after the fix that's no longer the case and thus virsh/virt-admin sees ' -r -c URI' as one argument. The solution is to take $IFS out of the picture by storing the extra arguments in an array instead of string.

Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
