Hmmm.... this is the (very) old-fashioned compctl completion, which
(probably) works but is unsupported beyond trivial fixes to keep it
working, and for which we've never supplied a completion library.  It
could really do with being updated to use the completion system.

From looking at that file, it's going to be something like the
following...

P.S. I quite like to be told what a completion is actually for without
having to search Google.
