Hi folks,

Despite the autocompletion support only for bash, I see the following
benefits from this change:
 * It may unify all the CLI tooliing in Ignite, providing a better user
experience
 * The library has an ability to generate man pages, which may be nice
 * I see there is an open issue for adding support to powershell, so
Windows platform will be also somewhat covered

Overall, I support this idea.
