Exactly. What you want, I gather, is a way to restrict completions on the
command word to the small set of router commands valid in whichever mode
the console happens to be. Programmable completion provides a mechanism to
do that, but there is a missing piece of functionality that would allow it
to work on the command word. That's the change I would prefer to see.
