Completion of command names and variables
New completion entry functions for readline specific code: - compl_var for variables - compl_fn for functions - compl_builtin for builtins - compl_extcmd for external commands in path - compl_command, which combines the last three The first three are simple wrappers for compl_name, which iterates over a typical rc table (an array of structs) yielding the name fields. The appropriate completion entry function is chosen based on the character/token that preceeds the word to complete: '$' for variable, beginning of line or one of [`@|&(){;] for command. Otherwise the shell falls back to readline's default completion, which it also does, if the chosen completion entry function finds no match.
