Comment (by ppurka):
Some comments before you go on with this patch. It should be mentioned in
the documentation that these enhanced completions (except the greedy one)
make sense only in the notebook. In fact, they should perhaps be enabled
only if we are indeed working in the notebook. For instance, look at this
output in the terminal. There is no way I can continue with the completion
on the terminal (unless the shell can tab through the separate options,
like zsh).
{{{

ComplexDoubleField RealDoubleField is_RealDoubleElement
sage: DoubleFie
ComplexDoubleField RealDoubleField

sage: a = range(3)
sage: a[1]. # <----------- this is OK and useful in the terminal.
a[1].bit_length a[1].conjugate a[1].denominator a[1].imag
a[1].numerator a[1].real
}}}
Also, as you can see from the following output, not all the suggestions
are being made. There is some stuff missing.
{{{
sage: Fiel # <--------- Where are the RealField, ComplexField,
RealLazyField, etc?
Field FieldElement Fields
}}}
Now, some documentation changes :)
1. Use {{{:trac:`14552`}}} instead of
{{{http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/14552}}}. The URL will be
automatically generated.
2. Don't break the
{{{:class:`~IPython.frontend.terminal.interactiveshell.TerminalInteractiveShell`}}}
into two lines. It looks a bit weird when rendered:
{{{
This method is basically copied from the method it overrides in "
TerminalInteractiveShell", but using "SageCompleter" as the
completer instead. This was done to address
}}}
