Talking about readline: something that has always bothered me is that the
TAb key is bound to _file_ completion. This is of course only useful when
I am typing in a command like :l or a shell escape.
In other cases it would be really nice if it were _function_ completion,
or toplevel identifier completion. I often forget how a certain function
is spelled or so.
Suggestions?
Koen.
