#Subject: [bash] Universal command options completion?
#
#
#In the recent versions of bash (after 2.04) programmable 
#completion is available. A useful completion function
#is , for a particular command, to enumerate all flags
#that can be used in the command. Now, most GNU unix 
#commands have so-called 'long options' for example:
#
#ls --color=always --no-group --size
#
#and these are all listed when you issue a '--help' flag.
#So the idea is to use that, then parse the output of the
#'--help' and reinject this to compgen. The basis of the 
#following 'universal' completion funtion was the _configure_func'
#written by Ian McDonnald (or is it Chet Ramey ?)
#A dedicated function will always be better, but this is quite
#convenient. I chose to use 'long options' because they are
#easy to parse and explicit too (it's the point I guess...)
#Lots of room for improvement !
