Meaning all my hosts need to be specified in both places? Not really
convenient.

I don't actually use one file per host; I use one per 'group' -
generally a client, or perhaps a vm or container host.

I assume there's a way to modify the bash completion config, but I
haven't looked at that. (Now I have, and it's ... going to require
further study.)
