clientside serverside-consolecommand autocompletion

May we get a way to implement clientside console command autocompletion for a server-defined console command?

I think a nice solution for this would be to re-implement concommand.Run, maybe something like this?

function Run( player, command, arguments, args )

	local LowerCommand = string.lower( command )

	if ( CommandList[ LowerCommand ] != nil ) then
		CommandList[ LowerCommand ]( player, command, arguments, args )
		return true -- default behaviour
	else if ( AutoComplete[ LowerCommand ] != nil ) then
                return nil -- pass to the server and attempt to run command there
        end

	Msg( "Unknown command: " .. command .. "\n" )

	return false -- default behaviour
end

Which would allow you to define console commands as such:

if SERVER then
        concommand.Add("server_test", function(ply, scmd, tcmd)
                ply:ChatPrint("you said: " .. scmd)
        end)
else
        -- nil passed as command definition, pass to server, keep autocomplete on client
        conommand.Add("server_test", nil, function()
                return {"server_test autocomplete_param"}
        end)
end
