-The `BashCompletionFunction` option is really only valid/useful on the root command. Doing the above will cause `___kubectl_custom_func()` (`__<command-use>_custom_func()`) to be called when the built in processor was unable to find a solution. In the case of kubernetes a valid command might look something like `kubectl get pod [mypod]`. If you type `kubectl get pod [tab][tab]` the `__kubectl_customc_func()` will run because the cobra.Command only understood "kubectl" and "get." `__kubectl_custom_func()` will see that the cobra.Command is "kubectl_get" and will thus call another helper `__kubectl_get_resource()`.  `__kubectl_get_resource` will look at the 'nouns' collected. In our example the only noun will be `pod`.  So it will call `__kubectl_parse_get pod`.  `__kubectl_parse_get` will actually call out to kubernetes and get any pods.  It will then set `COMPREPLY` to valid pods!
