Another part to make the sudo command enjoyable is auto completion.
When invoking a sudo command you can not auto-complete for example:
sudo sugar-cont[tab]
does not auto-complete. The bash-completion (141K) package solves this,
which I tried on my F8 machine. Maybe worth an inclusion since the
completion works as well for other cases like:
yum in[tab]
(even so in the case of 'yum install b[tab]' it takes a while to list
the packages).
Best,
Simon
