 This duplicates code, but I don't know of a way to re-use the dynamic
 code without sourcing a bash script and possibly breaking someone's build.

 (1) If the script notices that there is a file that contains the command
     list, it sources it; otherwise,

Or we substitute the command list in-place, so that we still have the entire
completion script in one file.

That defeats the whole point of my suggestion, as you would be overwriting
the tracked file.
