[R-SIG-Mac] Cocoa GUI feature request (with patch!)

[Byron Ellis]

Of course---I had just placed ESS into the category of First (and Most 
Venerable) of the Unbundled GUIs as opposed to "command-line R." The 
rest of us will be playing catch-up with ESS for long time :-)

FWIW the code suggests that Cocoa R's console also attempts to complete 
both filenames and objects. (I haven't actually tried it).
