cool. I guess it could be really useful.

Or scan bash_profile/bashrc for complete -F and compdef all commands to use
wrapper unless already defined. It would allow almost transparent change
between bash and zsh. It could be added to compinstall then or even to
compinit with style to turn it off/on.

Would it be useful?

Sure.
