Ubuntu has this wonderful name completion feature when you enter Tab:

$ ma<Tab>
macaroon                     makeg
magnifier                    makekdewidgets
mahjongg                     make-memtest86+-boot-floppy
mail                         make_method
mail-files                   make-ssl-cert
mailq                        makestrs
mailshar                     man
mailx                        mandb
make                         manpath
makedepend                   map
make_driver_db_cups          mattrib
make_driver_db_lpr           mawk

$ make<Tab>
make                         makekdewidgets
makedepend                   make-memtest86+-boot-floppy
make_driver_db_cups          make_method
make_driver_db_lpr           make-ssl-cert
makeg                        makestrs

$ make

Maybe we could implement something like that...
