Subject: [PATCH] Avoid storing pointer to nil (#411)

* Fix shellcheck

Before this change:

	In - line 204:
	    declare -F $next_command >/dev/null && $next_command
	               ^-- SC2086: Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.

	--- FAIL: TestBashCompletions (0.34s)
		bash_completions_test.go:138: shellcheck failed: exit status 1

* Avoid storing pointer to nil

Before this change, the new test fails with:

	--- FAIL: TestSetOutput (0.00s)
		command_test.go:198: expected setting output to nil to revert back to stdout, got <nil>
