This thing is great. Bash is just as speedy and peppy with as without.

I do like this for every alias now:

$ type q
q is aliased to `pacman -Qi'
$ cat ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/q.bash
if [[ -r /usr/share/bash-complete-alias/complete_alias ]]; then
    source /usr/share/bash-complete-alias/complete_alias
    complete -F _complete_alias q
fi

Not gonna happen, I'm not going to force this system-wise, especially when the usual use for aliases is in the user's own bashrc scripts.

/etc is for per-system config/policy, not for distro/vendor distributed files, these should be put in /usr, so it's a pretty bad idea to install in /etc/bash_completion.d.

Just create a symlink in /etc/bash_completion.d if you want to force this function system-wise.

In fact I think this script should be installed in /etc/bash_completion.d (or even /usr/share/bash-completion/completions?).

One can also enable it by creating this link: ln -s /usr/share/bash-complete-alias/complete_alias ~/.bash_completion

Or by defining this environment variable: export BASH_COMPLETION_USER_FILE=/usr/share/bash-complete-alias/complete_alias
