/**
    @file
    @ingroup Command ArgumentCompletion
    @brief Definition of the orxonox::ArgumentCompleter class that is used to execute @ref ArgumentCompletionFunctions.h "argument completion functions".

    An ArgumentCompleter can be assigned to an orxonox::ConsoleCommand using
    @ref orxonox::ConsoleCommand::argumentCompleter "argumentCompleter()".
    The ArgumentCompleter calls an argument completion function that is defined
    in ArgumentCompletionFunctions.h. This can be used to list possible arguments
    for console commands and to allow auto-completion.

    Instances of ArgumentCompleter are usually not created manually but rather
    by the macros defined in ArgumentCompletionFunctions.h. There you'll also
    find some examples.

    @see See the @ref ArgumentCompletionExample "examples".
