+      Modify a Haskell package to add shell completion scripts for the
+      given executables produced by it. These completion scripts will be
+      picked up automatically if the resulting derivation is installed,
+      e.g. by `nix-env -i`.
+
+      This depends on the `--*-completion` flag `optparse-applicative` provides
+      automatically. Since we need to invoke installed executables, completions
+      are not generated if we are cross-compiling.
+
+       commands: names of the executables built by the derivation
+            pkg: Haskell package that builds the executables
