For example, commands that set/query a default value or a setting
start with "my-". It makes things easier for humans to remember, which
is the goal in the end. I prefer that the shell autocompletion rules
writer
has to do _once_ a list of:

 my-default-archive
 make-archive
 ...

expect an archive name as argument and easier for _all_ users than
permitting the autocompletion writer to say "archive-* expects an
archive name" and make it more difficult for all users.
