Once fish achieves world domination, all normal commands will ship with fish
completions, and zsh will be rewritten to understand the superset between
ksh, tcsh and fish, partially in order to reuse these sompletion files. Fish
is actually prepared for this, since it uses a layout where every command
has it's own completion file, so it's easy for a package to add an extra
completion. Until then we do what we can and write completions that try to
check versions where there are significant differences and many popular
versions. This is done e.g. with the ls command which has completely
different switches in gnu and non-gnu versions.
