      Problem Description

      Tab completion does not include an open parenthesis

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Start mongosh
      • Type db.agg, followed by TAB

      Expected Results

      Shell completes to db.aggregate(.

      Actual Results

      Shell completes to db.aggregate, as mongo shell does

      Additional Notes

      I think this is a usability issue because it's not immediately obvious what it means when you hit Enter key and it shows you:

      [Function: aggregate] AsyncFunction {
        returnType: 'AggregationCursor',
        returnsPromise: true,
        serverVersions: [ '0.0.0', '999.999.999' ],
        topologies: [ 0, 2, 1 ],
        deprecated: false,
        platforms: [ 0, 1, 2 ],
        help: [Function (anonymous)] Help
      }
      

      Including the open parenthesis is a clue that you also need a close parenthesis.

      Bonus points for including the close paren for commands that don't take any arguments.
