How to TAB-complete ripgrep command-line options when typing in consult-ripgrep?
Searching suggested me https://github.com/JonWaltman/pcmpl-args.el, but looking at the README, I still don't have a clue how to use it.

Running Shells and Terminal Emulators in Emacs
I've been using pcmpl-args which parses man pages (like zsh and fish do) to generate completions. This approach is comprehensive and shell-independent, but the pcomplete side of things is a bit of a mess.

Command argument completion (with pcomplete + pcmpl-args) works as expected.

Running Shells and Terminal Emulators in Emacs
It should be techincally possible given packages like bash-completion exists. The problem is tho that most REPLs disable readline stuff when they encounter a DUMB terminal for obvious reasons AFAIU. Some have a flag to force the fancy stuff on but some don't. A quick search for "emacs readline completion" yields this package -- https://github.com/emacsmirror/readline-complete -- it needs a new breath of life to turn it into capf I suppose.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pcmpl-args.el and readline-complete you can also consider the following projects:
emacs-native-shell-complete - Completion in shell buffers using native mechanisms
shx-for-emacs - An Emacs shell-mode (and comint-mode) extension that enables displaying small plots and graphics and lets users write shell commands in Emacs Lisp.
emacs-bash-completion - Add programmable bash completion to Emacs shell-mode
