For commands which support operating on files (i.e. disk images), it is
desirable for bash-completion to complete matching file names. It is
also desirable to complete on block device symlinks (e.g. under
/dev/disk). To complete common use cases, often on canonical device
names, continue to try completion using canonical device names, then
fall back to matching any file incrementally as Bash does by default.[1]

Various commands such as blkid, cfdisk, fdisk, delpart, and so on listed
only partitions and missed for example disks and volume groups. The
right thing to do is to list all block devices in all for all commands
performing operations with them. This might occasionally list unexpected
devices that I think is lesser bad than missing some.
