Review comment (performance):
Could this cause the performance loss?

This also feels bit clumsy to me, but I was not able to get completions with whitespace to be separate indices of `COMPREPLY` without `printf` here.

Code after:
        else
            # Not an activeHelp line but a normal completion
            completions+=("$comp")
        fi
    done <<<"${out}"
}
