Description
Should we include/ship shell completion with pytest, e.g. in a contrib folder?
I have something for Zsh: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions/pull/454/files.
Added to my dotfiles: https://github.com/blueyed/oh-my-zsh/commit/fd89b191b808adc4c913f667109d5c9702bba713 (2020-03-01)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed contrib-folder approach and the linked zsh-users/zsh-completions change, then inspect how pytest’s command-line entry point is packaged. Resolve whether and where the Zsh completion should ship; done means the project has an agreed, integrated completion path rather than only an external or dotfiles copy.
