yes, i'd already figured out that feature but, curiously, while that
package exists for fedora, i still get that functionality on SLES11
with no such package installed. on SLES11, it appears to be just part
of the shell, accompanied by the directory /etc/bash_completion.d/ and
the file /etc/profile.d/complete.bash. i see no individual package on
SLES11 that supports that feature.
in any event, mystery solved.
