libedit does provide auto completion hooks, but it is up to the end
program to make use of that, and determine whether completion should
search for commands, files, variables, anything else. libedit includes
an example called fileman, that includes path-based completion. It might
be interesting to see if that is easily adaptable to dash.

Cheers,
