make first different character bold when showing completions ala emacs

Show all headers | View raw

# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/phpmyadmin_4%3a4.<TAB> shows
phpmyadmin_4%3a4.4.15-1_all.deb   phpmyadmin_4%3a4.5.0.2-2_all.deb
# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/phpmyadmin_4%3a4.

Can you please make the first different character bold, like emacs does,

Possible completions are:
phpmyadmin_4%3a4.4.15-1_all.deb
phpmyadmin_4%3a4.5.0.2-2_all.deb

(You can't see the bold in this ASCII email, but it is there.)

In fact we see that if you line them up vertically in one column, it
also helps a lot!
