This command is going to be called from bash completion script in
the following form:

 virsh complete "start --domain"

Its only purpose is to return list of possible strings for
completion. Note that this is a 'hidden', unlisted command and
therefore there's no documentation to it.

Do we really need readline for it?  Did I miss something or are we
really just using it here just so we don't have to split the
vshReadlineParse() in some way?  Don't get me wrong, I'm OK with that,
the split would be too complicated and who doesn't use readline, right?
It just feels weird.

Yes we do need readline unfortunately. vshReadlineCompletion() calls
rl_completion_matches() which filters strings returned by
vshReadlineParse() so that list of strings presented to user corresponds
to their input. We could reimplement the rl_* function ourselves if we
really want to be readline independent. On the other hand - readline is
everywhere, so why should we bother?


Sure, I agree, my question was if this is using it just for filtering strings,
looks like yes :D
