I disagree. The goal should not be to make shell completion
more helpful. The main issue about shell completion is that
most executables in /usr/bin will never be used from the shell
(so, in any case, something else needs to be done), while if
you move some binaries out of PATH, you could break existing
scripts (some of them written by the end user / admin).
