i respect the spirit of what fish is trying to accomplish and i couldn't
help but ponder what the appropriate thing to do would be. if you don't
mind, i'd like to suggest that you inform the user which command to use
to see related documentation. for example:
[begin transcript]
complete: Too many arguments
/opt/local/share/fish/completions/find.fish (line 79): complete -c find
-o xtype -d (N_ "Check type of file - in case of symlink, check the file
that is not checked by -type") -x $type_comp
^
in . (source) call of file /opt/local/share/fish/completions/find.fish ,
called on standard input,
in command substitution
called on standard input,
type ``help complete'' for related documentation.
[end transcript]
note: i deleted what seemed to be a duplicated backtrace.
i enjoy the verbosity of the information that fish provides and i think
it's very helpful. knowing which help page to look up, should i need to,
seems useful. plus, ``help complete'' would use my $BROWSER preference
to browse the documentation.
i hope my suggestion is helpful. thanks again.
