Hey all--

I don't think an autocompleting geocoder exists in the open right now, so I
added the capability into twofishes.

If you spin up a twofishes server, you can play with it at
/static/autocomplete.html ex: http://cl.ly/image/1s2o3033011k

the matching algorithm isn't perfect: http://cl.ly/image/3w2G0r222B2d and I
took a few shortcuts -- no postal codes (so I don't need to save the
lat/lng for fuzzy non-hierarchy matching in the rough serving structure),
and it needs to match right-to-left. It doesn't start matching until 3
characters in.

Contact me if you want a prebuilt index off the geonames data.
