I see: I would be prevented to complete a valid option if the main
completer is in a bad state due to a previous one, for example. Hmm.
I'll try a couple of alternatives and see what plays better with broken
completions (whenever I run into those).
It remains to be seen if this is any better than just using the _files
completer. My guess is that it would generally be, though it might break
too easily for programs that have positional arguments.
