Rake Completion

Bash completion support for Rake, Ruby Make.

 $ rake st<Tab>
 $ rake stats

 $ rake test<Tab><Tab>
 test              test:integration  test:recent       
 test:benchmark    test:plugins      test:uncommitted  
 test:functionals  test:profile      test:units

It cache tasks to .rake_tasks~ and update it if it will be outdated. So it’s more faster, that default completion from Ubuntu rake.
