Some completers for libvirt related tools might want to list domain IDs only. Just like the one I've implemented for virt-viewer [1]. I've worked around it using some awk magic, but if it was possible to just 'virsh list --id' then I could drop awk.
IMO completing numeric IDs doesn't make much sense, they aren't descriptive at all and I don't really see a point for users using them on a commandline. If you are expanding both names and IDs then you'll have twice as much completion suggestions on an empty string. Is there a case where it would actually make sense? Specifically in virsh we almost always accept id/name/UUID interchangably for a 'domain'.
