Sorry for the confusion I caused with the first version of this patch containing
an old local change of mine changing tr(1) to sed(1).

v1 -> v2: actually use awk(1)

Similar to d3e4af1f0a33849b36196b035fddf64037e0c282 the
lack of unicode support in GNU's tr(1) implementation prevents
word completions for word containing unicode glyphs.

Apparently, most awk implementations support unicode.

Sorry for the delay in response but I wanted to have a better
solution prepared before replying. I will reject this because the
character classes still don't work properly with onetrueawk even
though unicode is supported.

I sent a different patch to the list which works with all the
examples given. I would appreciate any review!
