+    <para>Many modern shells (including bash, tcsh, and zsh) support
+      parameter and/or option tab-completion.  This support usually
+      comes from completion files, which contain the definitions for
+      how tab completion will work for a certain command.  Ports
+      sometimes ship with their own completion files, or porters may
+      have created them themselves.</para>
+
+    <para>When available, completion files should always be
+      installed.  It is not necessary to make an option for it.
+      If an option is used, though, always enable it in
+      <varname>OPTIONS_DEFAULT</varname>.</para>
