Description

A feature from zsh-autocomplete.

swapfile1

This is quite useful when it's tricky to remember the order of the arguments. For instance the argument order of git merge and git rebase can be tricky to remember since they're "reversed" in a way (git merge A B merges A into B, while git rebase A B rebases B on top of A).

Somewhat related: #356

Research direction

Start by comparing the linked zsh-autocomplete behavior and reviewing related issue #356; the payload names no files, tests, or entry points. Define the option's behavior and configuration before locating the argument-completion code. Done means the current argument name can be shown while navigating commands such as git merge and git rebase.
