Thanks for asking this.  I've also been thinking about how things like 
tab completion and other discoverability interfaces work in Julia.  In 
python, for example, having that namespacing that you bring up above 
makes tab completion on an object a very natural way to explore a 
vocabulary of functions associated with the object.  How does Julia 
usually address discoverability and interactive exploration of functions 
(like with tab completion, etc.)?

Thanks,
