John's presentation has sent me down a rabbit hole of frustration (aka 
Bash scripting), and I think I've made progress.


If you're reading this, John, I might be able to contribute on the topic 
of auto-completion with space-embedded options.


If you're interested in discussing, lemme know.


Meanwhile, if anyone knows of some bash scripts that could use an 
auto-completion script, I may be interested in taking it on.


I've done balooctl (which I don't even use), and am considering "php 
occ[tab]..." for NextCloud.



Thanks,

rb
