Yes, I am open to that. Actually I believe there's an older ticket where this idea was explored to some extent. The idea was that a subcommand could generate completions. This was before the GraalVM support was added and at the time it wasn't pursued in depth. I'll try to find that ticket later when I get a chance. |

what if instead of being evaluated at "generate-completions" time, and having the value of the iterable be hardcoded into the bash completion function, but rather the picocli framework would invoke the command and retrieve dynamic values. This is a significant performance tradeoff but may be worth it for some users.
Would like to know if a pr for this would be welcome.
