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.

Running Shells and Terminal Emulators in Emacs
I will plug one of my packages that provides native completions in comint buffers. It basically sends tab to the process and collects the output. Works with SQLite and other shells.
- emacs-native-shell-complete: Completion in shell buffers using native mechanisms
- Sending TAB to an external process to get completions.
What are some alternatives?
