Issue body
I have just published a new snap named "tio" which includes a bash completion script but the completion script is not picked up on and enabled by the system once installed.
The completion script gets installed in /snap/tio/current/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/tio
This of course differs from the conventional install location and hence the script is not sourced.
How do we safely enable sourcing of snap installed bash completion scripts?
