Description
Right now when typing binary <TAB> optparse-applicative will auto complete to all options and arguments. I'd like to suggest changing this to auto completing only arguments, provided a HasCompleter modifier was added to them.
My reason for this is that it would help to make it clearer when auto completing for files and directories. It would still be possible to tab complete options as well by just typing the initial -.
