Details:

The autocompletion feature of 'bash' leads to an easier user experience. We
have already started working on adding this feature
<https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=15799> to gnuastro
while invoked in 'bash'.

However, as Samaeh pointed out
<https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=15799#comment7>, using
this feature in emacs <https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/> can be ease up the
scripting process. This means faster typing, less typos, errors, and
worrying.

For a start, I found a link here that might be of help:
https://github.com/szermatt/emacs-bash-completion

I can see that Mohammad has long wanted to implement a similar feature in
emacs. <https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=14643>

Also, it looks like there has been an intention for easing the process through
using emacs <https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=13985>
since a long time ago.

With all that said, I guess this task can make gnuastro users' lives easier.
