pretty cool!

A few comments:

- systemctl start <TAB> shows services which are marked inactive (dead), e.g.
# systemctl status wdm.service
wdm.service
	  Loaded: error
	  Active: inactive (dead)

I guess we should filter out such services from start

- systemctl status <TAB> also shows devices, which makes the
completion list rather long (~300) and less usable.
Maybe we should filter certain types of units here, like device or automount


Cheers,
Michael
