All the arguments typed thusfar should be available in the COMP_WORDS
array. For example, to get the previously typed argument, as well as the
argument currently being typed:
prev=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}
cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}
COMP_CWORDS is a zero-indexed array. COMP_CWORD is the index of the
word that is currently being completed.
