I am afraid this is close to "let's make shell read my mind". This 
is very exotic case and (personally) I prefer to press ENTER after rmmod 
- simply because rmmod may fail and I want to know it.

I'd rather see modules completion synced with current module-init-tools 
:) One obviously missing feature is completing modules from kernel 
different from currently running (modinfo -k)
