Say I wanted to define eshell completion for the command nohup.  How
would I go about this?

Essentially, pcomplete should complete the command line "nohup foo
bar" as if the "nohup" wasn't there.

tia,
Kai

I found out that eshell already knows to complete xargs, and it works
to do

(defalias 'pcomplete/nohup 'pcomplete/xargs)

Well, actually, I have a command "ec" that I used this with, and I
didn't try for nohup.  But I think it will also work for nohup.
