If the user has sudo access (`~/.sudo_as_admin_successful` exists), and
they're tab-completing a command starting with `sudo` (to guard against
doing this unexpectedly), and they're completing a path that includes a
directory they don't have access to, bash-completion could use sudo to
list potential matches so that tab-completion can work.

Ideally this would fully integrate with bash-completion, such that any
other completion that's asking to complete pathnames will be able to use
it.
