## Completion

With the release of Homebrew 1.0, they decided to bundle the zsh completion as part of the
brew installation, so we no longer ship it with the brew plugin; now it only has brew
aliases. If you find that brew completion no longer works, make sure you have your Homebrew
installation fully up to date.
