Could you explore adding code to inquire the parser on the next possible tokens ahead? That would greatly simplify the shell script for bash autocompletion. We should be able to reuse this from libreadline too. I know what I'm asking is a bit more difficult, but it would help us reduce the amount of code duplication and will reduce the maintainance burden.
