Going over my local git branches, I found old patch set which I was

Along guest IP address patches I feel like this one is desired as well and keeps

to us from time to time.
What I think this feature should look like:
virsh # sta<TAB>
expands to:
virsh # start
Now, hitting <TAB> again (okay, several times actually) gives us a list of
supported options:
--autodestroy --bypass-cache --console --force-boot --paused
virsh # start --
Up to here, it's just current implementation. What I'd like to see is list of
(ideally shut off) domains:
--autodestroy --bypass-cache --console --force-boot --paused f17 f18
<...>
virsh # start --
The same applies to complete a single option as well. That is not (only) command based
completer,
but a option based one. IIRC, that was conclusion on my first approach as well. What
I've come up with so far is:
If you search the mail archives there have been at least 4 postings of
virsh autocompletion, but none ever got finished. IIRC the most recent
was by Serge. Probably worth starting off from one of those patches
rather than writing from scratch.
