I find it neat (from the URL provided):

Bash has offered many forms of completion since its inception, including path,
file, user, host and variable completion.

* Path-name completion

This type of completion occurs on the first token of the command line, allowing
you to complete on executable files. Together with file-name completion, it is
the most known and used type.  * File-name completion

This allows you to complete on file and directory names at the second and
subsequent token position on the command line.  * User-name completion

This allows you to complete on user names by prefixing the token with a ~
(tilde).

* Host-name completion

This allows you to complete on host names by prefixing the token with a @.

* Variable-name completion

This allows you to complete on variable names by prefixing the token with a $.

Programmable completion indefinitely extends the type of completion you can perform.
