Hey, just because I'm a self-proclaimed curmudgeon doesn't mean I don't
have a sense of humor. :P

Well, not entirely. I am lazy, all power users of computers are. What
makes the CLI bearable is the tab-completion. Autocompletion is basically the
same thing, it just does it real time. Annoying, yeah, but not as much as it
is useful when the data it is drawing from is good. Having names matched with
the wrong address and completing strings which represent several addresses,
however, represents bad data.
