Subject: an idea for a nice use of --flag_whatever ?

Message-ID: <m0yxVdj-001MuEC@finlandia.Infodrom.North.DE> (raw)
I don't know if this would help new unix users.
What do you think about doing completions for most commands that use
the long-flags of many of the gnuish programms?
Could this improve living for new users or is this just
the wrong way?
I tend to think, it really could improve things!
I personally never use the long style nor do i know anyone who does,
because it takes too long to
write it down but the useful zsh-completion could make
it possible to understand the flags much better for
beginning users of commands.
Has there ever been attempts to write completions, that use
the self-explaining flags like
--help, --version and so on for many commands?
What would be a good start of such a project?
ps: a tool in tk would be cool for people to learn how to
program compctls, too.
