Public bug reported:

The one problem I've found with the new "apt" command (in trusty) is
that unlike with "apt-get", tab completion doesn't work.

Someone's posted a solution here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/445637/can-i-enable-bash-completion-for-
the-new-apt-command

It looks like this might be a bash-level problem (or zsh, or whetever
shell you use), rather than apt-specific, but I thought I'd post it here
as people who care about this project should presumably also care about
tab completion working properly.

Do you think it's feasible to expect tab-completion by 1504?
