I think each command can have a completion and colorization for command arguments (as an internal api).
Do you think we should do it now or not or maybe later?
I'm thinking of something like this
if command? && argument_part?
# pass completor so that command can fallback to completor if the arg part is a ruby code
return command_instance._internal_complete(command_arg, completor)
end

IMO, we should first finish completion support for signature arguments too, like show_source and edit's, before designing any public API. This is to make sure we know what we want and don't want to expose. I also don't see too strong of a demand for such feature yet, so I think we can wait a bit.
The command only takes command names as arguments, so we should only return command names as candidates. This will help users find a command faster as completion will be another useful hint too.
