My biggest experience with autocomplete comes from Visual Studio- where it automatically autocompletes everything, and the return key gets bound to accepting the autocomplete. The implementation you just said sounds better. But I've yet to see an autocomplete implementation that wasn't utterly annoying for minimal gain.
The first one I think I've seen that I actually like is Apple's completer, which is part of all text edit objects. You type a partial word, and hit Escape, and it pops up a list of matches (in normal circumstances, from a dictionary.) I haven't really gotten into using Xcode yet (one of my next projects is to get into Objective-C and Cocoa programming for fun and profit), so I can't report on it's use of token-completion.
I like it because it's completely out of the way until you ask for it, though my ingrained vim reflexes keep triggering it whenever I'm done with an edit. :)
