So if you revert my change to the array subcmd_dev, completing after dev
works. But completing after `ip link set lo' or virbr0-nic, "fails to
parse the previous word."

I can't seem to find a pattern that works in both cases, but adding the
previous line back allows completing after: `ip link show dev'.
But after the argument for `dev', the option `up' is no longer show.

Hopefully someone with better knowledge of the _regex_* functions could
help.
