Research direction

Start in GNUmakefile and inspect how COMPLETIONS=y currently selects bash, fish, and zsh installation. Verify how a space-separated COMPLETIONS value is parsed, then run the relevant make target with the requested shell combinations; done means the default and elvish/powershell selections install the expected completions.
