I'd STILL love to see the day when virsh itself offered a 'virsh
completion foo bar...' command that gave context-sensitive completion
results for 'virsh foo bar...'.  The idea has been on the list for
several years, and one student attempted (but failed) to do it for
Google Summer of Code.  With such a command in place, both bash and zsh
completion functions become a LOT simpler (simply let virsh provide the
list), and we aren't reinventing the wheel every time a new poster
provides yet another completion engine in their favorite shell.
