Some shells support tab completion on more than just file names. On my
Debian system I can do

$ apt-get install nm<TAB><TAB>
nmap     nmapfe   nmh      nmzmail

It knows that because I'm running apt-get I'm looking for a package
name, so it completes on those rather than file names. I don't know the
specifics of how it works. But anyway such a thing for script names is
conceivable.
