It also uses "complete -D" which is a bash >= 4.1 thing; bash-completion 
is currently targeted at bash >= 3.2.  We will at some point bump the 
minimum requirement to a newer version, but there is no estimate when 
that might happen, and until that things should continue to work without 
significant regressions for all supported bash versions.
