API to emit completions generated by another library #107

Description

stricli already has logic to generate a list of completions. However, they only support bash. They would like to integrate with @bomb.sh/tab but keep their own completion logic.

bloomberg/stricli#137 (comment)

To support this, can tab add an alternative API to .parse() which emits a set of completions and a directive?

Something like this:

/**
 * Write completions and directive to stdout
 */
emitCompletions(completions: Completion[], directive: Directive);

interface Completion {
  value: string;
  description: string;
}
type Directive = number; // Better type based on ShellCompDirective?
