Instead of duplicating the keywords here, these could be scraped from
`dmidecode --string` (without providing the keyword arg) output if
that sounds acceptable and the output is considered stable enough for
that purpose. Or let's say `--string help` could be implemented, and
it could print to stdout (no error), and only the keywords with no
error messages or header lines or the like if stdout is not a tty.
Anyway, as it stands, with no modifications, could take all output
lines starting with whitespace from stderr. Ditto other keyword/type
lists across these completions.
