Automatic completion on <return>

[Dominik Vogt <VOGT@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I already have a "smart" cd-script that allows to "cd" into files:

cd with 0 parameters:

  Unchanged.

cd with 1 parameters:

  If the parameter is a directory name, cd into it.
  If the parameter is a file name, cd into the directory containing
  the file.
  If the parameter is a file name that ends with .tar.gz, .tgz etc.
  and a directory with the same name without the suffix exists, cd
  into that (i.e. cd into extracted archives).

cd with 2 parameters:

  I've forgotten what this does.  That stuff does not look like my
  coding style.  :-)

Now I wonder how this logic could be extended to work with the autocd
option.  Is it possible to augment command execution with a script.  Is
there any "hook" function that is automatically called if a command
from the command line cannot be executed because it does not exist?

I've another idea how to extend this, but I'll write another message
for that.
