"For package autocompletion: complete -c name_of_your_alias" - No, -c stands for "command", not package. "For command autocompletion: complete -F name_of_your_alias" - No, -F means "use this function", not "command", and "this function" doesn't mean "name of your alias". Maybe you meant -f for "file"? Read the manual.

Sorry, but executing complete -F name_of_your_alias simply makes no sense. Moreover, it simply fails, because it requires an additional argument.

complete -F xxx does not work on OSX (It just shows the usage complete: usage: complete [-abcdefgjksuv] [-pr] [-o option] [-A action] [-G globpat] [-W wordlist] [-P prefix] [-S suffix] [-X filterpat] [-F function] [-C command] [name ...]) . Do you have any pointer? Thanks.
