Sure. I must admit, I was thinking of the programmable ones, but you're quite

Wouldn't this be a bit clunky with programmable completion? Surely if I'm
using a function to generate completions (a list of jobs, or a list of
suitable hostnames or whatever) then it would be natural to explain them
there? Am I misunderstanding something; I confess it feels a bit yucky to
have two places where descriptions come from?
