but cut it out of the Oil project (for the forseeable future). Right now Oil takes the approach of running existing bash completion scripts, which solves the problem well enough (but leaves a few things to be desired)
If someone comes up with a spec that works in at least one other shell, and some code, I'll be happy to merge it into Oil.
Though, reading over this, it looks pretty early, and I don't think the "spec first" approach really works. That is, the spec should be derived from working code, and I believe you have to implement it in more than one shell to tell if it's feasible.
