I think  this is usefull  only for people  who don't know  about their
shell's programable completion ;-)

BTW, here's  a tcsh completion example  (It could be  improved, but is
nice for all-day use) :

complete tla 'p/1/(help my-id my-default-archive register-archive \
    whereis-archive archives init-tree tree-root tree-version set-tree-version \
    undo redo changes file-diffs inventory tree-lint id id-tagging-method \
    add-id add delete-id delete rm move-id move mv explicit-default default-id \
    id-tagging-defaults changeset mkpatch apply-changeset dopatch \
    show-changeset make-archive archive-setup make-category make-branch \
    make-version import commit get get-changeset lock-revision archive-mirror \

            'n/my-default-archive/`tla archives | grep "^[^     ]"`/' \
            'n/categories/`tla archives | grep "^[^     ]"`/' \
