Description

Today the two environment files illumos.sh and illumos-quick.sh are automatically generated. It would be nice if they didn't tab complete the same way so as to avoid getting the wrong thing and mindlessly falling back to the weird bldenv behavior of going to /opt/onbld/env which we should probably change separately.

Research direction

Start by locating the generators for illumos.sh and illumos-quick.sh, then compare the generated files and trace their tab-completion behavior. Confirm the intended distinction between the two environment files before changing anything; done means they no longer overlap during completion and do not lead to the wrong bldenv behavior.
