 """Completion for IPython.
 
 This module started as fork of the rlcompleter module in the Python standard
 library.  The original enhancements made to rlcompleter have been sent
 upstream and were accepted as of Python 2.3,
 
 This module now support a wide variety of completion mechanism both available
 for normal classic Python code, as well as completer for IPython specific
 Syntax like magics.
 
 Latex and Unicode completion
 ============================
 
 IPython and compatible frontends not only can complete your code, but can help
 you to input a wide range of characters. In particular we allow you to insert
 a unicode character using the tab completion mechanism.
 
 Forward latex/unicode completion
 --------------------------------
 
 Forward completion allows you to easily type a unicode character using its latex
 name, or unicode long description. To do so type a backslash follow by the
 relevant name and press tab:
 
 
 Using latex completion:
 
 .. code::
 
     \\alpha<tab>
     α
 
 or using unicode completion:
 
 
 .. code::
 
     \\GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA<tab>
     α
 
 
 Only valid Python identifiers will complete. Combining characters (like arrow or
 dots) are also available, unlike latex they need to be put after the their
 counterpart that is to say, ``F\\\\vec<tab>`` is correct, not ``\\\\vec<tab>F``.
 
 Some browsers are known to display combining characters incorrectly.
 
 Backward latex completion
 -------------------------
 
 It is sometime challenging to know how to type a character, if you are using
 IPython, or any compatible frontend you can prepend backslash to the character
 and press ``<tab>`` to expand it to its latex form.
 
 .. code::
 
     \\α<tab>
     \\alpha
 
 
 Both forward and backward completions can be deactivated by setting the
 ``Completer.backslash_combining_completions`` option to ``False``.
 
 
 Experimental
 ============
 
 Starting with IPython 6.0, this module can make use of the Jedi library to
 generate completions both using static analysis of the code, and dynamically
 inspecting multiple namespaces. Jedi is an autocompletion and static analysis
 for Python. The APIs attached to this new mechanism is unstable and will
 raise unless use in an :any:`provisionalcompleter` context manager.
 
 You will find that the following are experimental:
 
     - :any:`provisionalcompleter`
     - :any:`IPCompleter.completions`
     - :any:`Completion`
     - :any:`rectify_completions`
 
 .. note::
 
     better name for :any:`rectify_completions` ?
 
 We welcome any feedback on these new API, and we also encourage you to try this
 module in debug mode (start IPython with ``--Completer.debug=True``) in order
 to have extra logging information if :any:`jedi` is crashing, or if current
 IPython completer pending deprecations are returning results not yet handled
 by :any:`jedi`
 
 Using Jedi for tab completion allow snippets like the following to work without
 having to execute any code:
 
    >>> myvar = ['hello', 42]
    ... myvar[1].bi<tab>
 
 Tab completion will be able to infer that ``myvar[1]`` is a real number without
 executing any code unlike the previously available ``IPCompleter.greedy``
 option.
 
 Be sure to update :any:`jedi` to the latest stable version or to try the
 current development version to get better completions.
 
 Matchers
 ========
 
 All completions routines are implemented using unified *Matchers* API.
 The matchers API is provisional and subject to change without notice.
 
 The built-in matchers include:
 
-- ``IPCompleter.dict_key_matcher``:  dictionary key completions,
-- ``IPCompleter.magic_matcher``: completions for magics,
-- ``IPCompleter.unicode_name_matcher``, ``IPCompleter.fwd_unicode_matcher`` and ``IPCompleter.latex_matcher``: see `Forward latex/unicode completion`_,
-- ``back_unicode_name_matcher`` and ``back_latex_name_matcher``: see `Backward latex completion`_,
-- ``IPCompleter.file_matcher``: paths to files and directories,
-- ``IPCompleter.python_func_kw_matcher`` - function keywords,
-- ``IPCompleter.python_matches`` - globals and attributes (v1 API),
+- :any:`IPCompleter.dict_key_matcher`:  dictionary key completions,
+- :any:`IPCompleter.magic_matcher`: completions for magics,
+- :any:`IPCompleter.unicode_name_matcher`,
+  :any:`IPCompleter.fwd_unicode_matcher`
+  and :any:`IPCompleter.latex_name_matcher`: see `Forward latex/unicode completion`_,
+- :any:`back_unicode_name_matcher` and :any:`back_latex_name_matcher`: see `Backward latex completion`_,
+- :any:`IPCompleter.file_matcher`: paths to files and directories,
+- :any:`IPCompleter.python_func_kw_matcher` - function keywords,
+- :any:`IPCompleter.python_matches` - globals and attributes (v1 API),
 - ``IPCompleter.jedi_matcher`` - static analysis with Jedi,
-- ``IPCompleter.custom_completer_matcher`` - pluggable completer with a default implementation in any:`core.InteractiveShell`
-  which uses uses IPython hooks system (`complete_command`) with string dispatch (including regular expressions).
-  Differently to other matchers, ``custom_completer_matcher`` will not suppress Jedi results to match
-  behaviour in earlier IPython versions.
+- :any:`IPCompleter.custom_completer_matcher` - pluggable completer with a default
+  implementation in :any:`InteractiveShell` which uses IPython hooks system
+  (`complete_command`) with string dispatch (including regular expressions).
+  Differently to other matchers, ``custom_completer_matcher`` will not suppress
+  Jedi results to match behaviour in earlier IPython versions.
 
 Custom matchers can be added by appending to ``IPCompleter.custom_matchers`` list.
 
+Matcher API
+-----------
+
+Simplifying some details, the ``Matcher`` interface can described as
+
+.. highlight::
+
+    MatcherAPIv1 = Callable[[str], list[str]]
+    MatcherAPIv2 = Callable[[CompletionContext], SimpleMatcherResult]
+
+    Matcher = MatcherAPIv1 | MatcherAPIv2
+
+The ``MatcherAPIv1`` reflects the matcher API as available prior to IPython 8.6.0
+and remains supported as a simplest way for generating completions. This is also
+currently the only API supported by the IPython hooks system `complete_command`.
+
+To distinguish between matcher versions ``matcher_api_version`` attribute is used.
+More precisely, the API allows to omit ``matcher_api_version`` for v1 Matchers,
+and requires a literal ``2`` for v2 Matchers.
+
+Once the API stabilises future versions may relax the requirement for specifying
+``matcher_api_version`` by switching to :any:`functools.singledispatch`, therefore
+please do not rely on the presence of ``matcher_api_version`` for any purposes.
+
 Suppression of competing matchers
 ---------------------------------
 
 By default results from all matchers are combined, in the order determined by
 their priority. Matchers can request to suppress results from subsequent
 matchers by setting ``suppress`` to ``True`` in the ``MatcherResult``.
 
 When multiple matchers simultaneously request surpression, the results from of
 the matcher with higher priority will be returned.
 
 Sometimes it is desirable to suppress most but not all other matchers;
 this can be achieved by adding a list of identifiers of matchers which
 should not be suppressed to ``MatcherResult`` under ``do_not_suppress`` key.
+
+The suppression behaviour can is user-configurable via
+:any:`IPCompleter.suppress_competing_matchers`.

         the user. For consistency the cursor being on "in between" characters X
         and Y is equivalent to the cursor being "on" character Y, that is to say
         the character the cursor is on is considered as being after the cursor.

         lazy property) and can require some warm-up, more warm up than just
         computing the ``name`` of a completion. The warm-up can be :
 
             - Long warm-up the first time a module is encountered after
             install/update: actually build parse/inference tree.
 
             - first time the module is encountered in a session: load tree from
             disk.

         completions types, the completions that have not yet been computed will
         be marked as "unknown" an will have a chance to be computed next round
         are things get cached.

 XXX - we exclude extension modules
 
 To include extension modules, first identify them as valid in the
 ``_uri2path`` method, then handle them in the ``_parse_module`` script.
 
 We get functions and classes by parsing the text of .py files.
 Alternatively we could import the modules for discovery, and we'd have
 to do that for extension modules.  This would involve changing the
 ``_parse_module`` method to work via import and introspection, and
 might involve changing ``discover_modules`` (which determines which
 files are modules, and therefore which module URIs will be passed to
 ``_parse_module``).
