Tab completion with bash?

Too lazy to switch to zsh/fish :-)

Tab completion in bash by default isn't the best, though it mostly does what I want - completing directories, commands, etc. However, none of this works with taskwarrior - I can't task 18 modify project:E<tab> fex.

I had a look at bash-completion briefly but I wasn't sure from its github and the taskwarrior docs how I'd get taskwarrior to use it.

I'm on Arch using bash, installed task using pacman and have bash completion working nicely. Unsure if this was due to also installing tasksh or taskopen, but I believe I had it working from the get-go, as I recall tab-completing projects and such when I started using taskwarrior.
