New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>:
Tab completions may be suffixed with ' ' (keywords), ':' (keywords)*, or '('
(callables) if one of those is required. Ex. 'import ', 'finally:', 'len('.
Attributes may get '('. The possible downside is needing to remove the suffix
if one does not want the completion for what it is but as a prefix to a longer
word. Ex. 'imports','elsewhere', 'length'. But this should be much less
common in code.
* 'else ' should be 'else:'
With keywords added (#37765) tab list is sorted(Completer().global_match('') +
list(__main__.dict__.keys())). Whatever decide on, calculate first part once
(if not already). list.sort used preexisting order. key are sorted. builtins
might be.
