It would have, but I handled the --markov=* case before --markov.
For --markov=*, I don't provide any completion.

IMO, this won't work.
The option --markov is valid without =value, but the others aren't.
If I would have just --users on the command line, and press [tab], I
would end up with --users=[-]LOGIN|UID[,..]

Sure.
I did, however, remove the outer pair of square brackets, otherwise the
second option would include the first one as a special case.
$ ./john --markov
--markov --markov=LEVEL[:START[:END[:LENGTH]]]
If we extend the usage of markov to --markov=MKV_SECTION (referring to a
section [Options.Markov:...], we can add the third option to the
expansion logic.
