You have to constantly maintain the bash script to keep up with additions to virsh. Much better would be adding a 'virsh complete' command, which takes the remaining command line arguments, and provides the context-sensitive completion list that best fits what the rest of the command line would be looking for if done in isolation. Then the bash completion wrapper would merely forward the current command line to 'virsh complete', and you'd only ever have to write the bash wrapper once, rather than maintaining it through each virsh addition. At one point, a student attempted work on this for Google Summer of Code (I think 2014?), but didn't get anywhere.

Thanks; but that's fragile. You have to constantly maintain the bash
script to keep up with additions to virsh.
Much better would be adding a 'virsh complete' command, which takes the
remaining command line arguments, and provides the context-sensitive
completion list that best fits what the rest of the command line would
be looking for if done in isolation. Then the bash completion wrapper
would merely forward the current command line to 'virsh complete', and
you'd only ever have to write the bash wrapper once, rather than
maintaining it through each virsh addition.

someone wants to tackle it.
