+# completions for awk
+# This only aims to complete POSIX awk options, as described in
+# awk(P). Most awk implementations, such as gawk and mawk, will have
+# additional options that this does not complete. Also, currently
+# this completion does not allow everything that POSIX allows. For
+# example, awk(P) states that the user may specify assignments
+# without using the -v option; this does not support that.
+#
+# In addition, the "program text" completion is not perfect. For
+# instance, type "awk -" and then hit tab. You will be presented
+# both with the dashed options and with the "program text" option.
+# Fixing this is beyond my current _arguments expertise--help
+# appreciated.
