It is only autocompletion help for clang, but the point is, if you
implement a similar flag for any program. If people did this
consistently, across the board, it would fix the problem, cleanly and
efficiently. You just add a --autocomplete flag to most programs so
that they can cooperate with the shell's autocompletion and then
everything is as friendly as TOPS-20 at last.
