Looks interesting, I just gave it a try. I didn't have a close look at
it yet. The variable completion feels strange. Pressing a<tab><tab>
expands to

barebox at Phytec phyCORE-i.MX27:/ a
addpart                   autoboot_timeout=
a=                        armlinux_architecture=

I really don't expect this and it seems quite non standard. Not sure if
I like it.

Another thing is, does it make sense to add a CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE_ADVANCED
for the more obscure completions?
