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.

Research direction
Investigate how Bun currently generates completions for other shells (e.g., bash, zsh) by examining the existing code in the src/cli directory. Understand the PowerShell Register ArgumentCompleter API and design a completion script structure. Implement the PowerShell completion generation in Rust, possibly in a new file or extending existing completion functions.
