Description

It is possible to declare completions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/register-argumentcompleter?view=powershell-7.4

Probably wont have this for Bun 1.1, but logging the issue so it is not forgotten.

Tagging this as windows as almost all users use powershell on windows, and not on mac and linux, but this is technically an all-platforms situation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study PowerShell's Register ArgumentCompleter and the existing shell completion implementation in Bun (e.g., for bash/zsh). Implement a PowerShell script that generates completions for bun commands and flags, likely using a JSON based completion specification generated by the bun binary.
