Maybe it is time to consider INvers, irrational number versioning, as used in eg TeX https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX
In TeX the version approaches Pi, every new version adds a decimal. Elegant, will hold forever!
TeX 3.141592653 is 45 years old. Its companion Metafont has version number 2.71828182, you can see where this is going.

It is a modern version of displaying the current first page of a newspaper to prove something has not happened earlier than the displayed reference.

This is why it is much more natural to use RPN. Solves all these problems:

So you store the password and the TOTP in KeePass? Seems that you have 1FA, hacking your KeePass is enough to own you.

This is the first time I felt that the title "Everything you need to know about..." actually was correct. I learned something and the text contained everything I ever might ever need to know about windsocks.

One should not forget that a big corporate is not made out of great people, but actually only of normal sized people... just, well, a lot of them!
If you hire a lot of people, they all will need to occupy a space each. To deserve that space, everybody needs to be either quite good... or good at faking being good.
Truly innovative things are done by great individuals. And corporates are not the natural habitat for great individuals.

It is missfeatures like this which make me seriously doubt the competence of the site provider.
They then loose me as a customer, and everybody else who I can influence.

This is already implemented, modern bash offers completion and suggestions, which look exactly like shown (text only though) when you press Tab.
This includes parameters, flags (with documentation), context (eg files in current directory).
Autocomplete is available for most commands on modern Linux installations.
