complete -c works. I'm not familar with bash-completion package. How
to customize search path for each command.

For exmaple, I want search in $PYTHONPATH after the command python.

BTW, where is the manual for the -c option of complete. There are too
many 'complete' in man bash. Would you please point me which section
is relevant to complete -c.
