* Make tab completion use a common set of word break characters.

There's been several requests for tab-completion to handle the
following two cases differently:
Prelude> readFi<TAB> (expand function name)
Prelude> readFile "/Users/judah/Docu<TAB> (expand filename)
I had been trying but was unable to integrate this behavior with the
existing hackery around using different sets of characters for word
breaks in different commands. Even using the readline-5-only
setCompletionWordBreakHook didn't quite work. So today I gave up, and
rewrote it so that all commands use the same characters for word
breaks.
Pros: Solves the above problem, and we end up with cleaner code.
Con: Tab-completion will treat a Haskell expression like "num/denom"
as one word, not two. However, since the user can work around it by
adding a space after the slash, I think this is pretty minor.
Thoughts? Simon M, you've looked at this before; what do you think?
