Thanks!  I'll try that out.  

What I was thinking about was built-in support for completions.  Let's
say I write an "lget" shortcut that does "tla get --link".  It would be
a shame to lose completions as a result.  aba could support more than
just "desc" or "exec" actions.  Maybe we'd add a "complete" action, so
scripts can provide their own completions.  Or is there a better
interface?
