Description

For some reason xontrib-argcomplete wasn't working for my script. I've finally been able to identify that importing pathlib in my script somehow prevents tab completion from working! I have not yet investigated what the root cause is for this, however.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the interaction between pathlib and xontrib argcomplete by tracing the import chain and checking for any monkey patching or namespace modifications. Look for conflicts in the completion machinery.
