I'm not sure. The way in which GRUB completes arguments was the same as that 
in BASH. Now BASH has programmable completions, but I really don't know if 
the feature is useful for GRUB as well. Can you explain more on what is your 
problem with GRUB's way?

I think argp is too complex for PUPA. It is very flexible and powerful, but I 
don't think it is easy to use.

How about popt?
