Multiple improvements to tab completion....
Multiple improvements to tab completion. I refactored the API quite a bit, to retain readline compatibility but make it more independent of readline. There's still more to do in cleaning up our init_readline() method, but now the completer objects have separate rlcomplete() and complete() methods. The former uses the quirky readline API with a state flag, while the latter is stateless, takes only text information, and is more suitable for GUIs and other frontends to call programatically. Made other minor fixes to ensure the test suite passes in full. While all this code is a bit messy, we're getting in the direction of the APIs we need in the long run.

# RegExp for splitting line contents into pre-char//first word-method//rest.
# For clarity, each group in on one line.
# WARNING: update the regexp if the escapes in interactiveshell are changed, as they
# are hardwired in.
# Although it's not solely driven by the regex, note that:
# ,;/% only trigger if they are the first character on the line
# ! and !! trigger if they are first char(s) *or* follow an indent
# ? triggers as first or last char.
# The three parts of the regex are:
# 1) pre: pre_char *or* initial whitespace
# 2) ifun: first word/method (mix of \w and '.')
# 3) the_rest: rest of line (separated from ifun by space if non-empty)
