[maemo-developers] Autocomplete Library

[From: Sivan Greenberg]

I would go to the trouble to provide a more "complete" autocomplete
lib, in the form of completing not just by autocomplete lists provided
by some readline client apps, but to employ "heuristics" to
autocomplete words related to a usage domain of certain tools and
apps. Sort of like that tool that's available from Debian that reads
your source tree for example and then uses that information to enable
more wide auto complete when hacking on the code.

Just my 2c ;)
