They are now working (pcomplete/tar etc...) with the last version of
pcomplete-extension.el, but entering multiples args (with and without
sudo and from emacs- Q) is not working at all (on second arg it try to
complete filenames) e.g

(cursor is "!")
emacs -Q
M-x shell
tar -! TAB => ok I have completion on options.
tar -z -! TAB => I have completion on filenames.

Maybe because you are using pcomplete-match with an hard coded value of
0 for index.(Not tested)

Completions provided in pcomplete-extension.el are allowing doing this
when needed.
