[gmx-users] future of shell completions in GROMACS

[jkrieger at mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk]

I +1 shell completions too. It would be ok for me too if they were only in
bash. I think my default shell on the cluster may be tcsh but I can change
it to bash if necessary.

I'd be happy to try helping to implement it but I don't have much
experience in C or C++ (I mainly use Python).
