This is a readline support and it is not available in release-basic
anyhow. They don't have exported completion functionality at jl
level. At least I cannot find it. It should be fairly easy to add to
someone with reasonable knowledge of julia. I have realized that I
already forgot most that I have learned about julia an year or so ago.

Their changes drive me crazy. I just added eldoc support 4 months ago
and it's already not working :(.

This is the current state: 

 1) function argument completion I implemented for eldoc. Will fix it
 today and then add them to tab completion.

 2) global variables and functions could be picked from help listing
 which, surprisingly, still works.

 3) module and struct completion (aka symbols containing .) I have no
 clue how to inspect them.

If you, Stephen, can help with part (3), that would be great.
