> When tab is used for completion, the behavior changes when there is only 1 remaining candidate.
> For commands, when the completion leads to a single candidate, a whitespace is appended and we can proceed to the arguments
> For arguments using a TabCompleter, when the completion leads to a single candidate, no whitespace is appended and we have to type it to be able to proceed to the next argument
>  
> Example:
> * deployment-over<TAB>
> => will complete to deployment-overlay<WHITESPACE><CURSOR> (a whitespace is appended to the single candidate)
> * deployment-overlay a<TAB>
> => will complete to deployment-over add<CURSOR> (no whitespace appended even though add is the only candidate matched)
