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.

"""Config file for 'doctest' profile.
This profile modifies the prompts to be the standard Python ones, so that you
can generate easily doctests from an IPython session.
But more importantly, it enables pasting of code with '>>>' prompts and
arbitrary initial whitespace, as is typical of doctests in reST files and
docstrings. This allows you to easily re-run existing doctests and iteratively
work on them as part of your development workflow.
The exception mode is also set to 'plain' so the generated exceptions are as
similar as possible to the default Python ones, for inclusion in doctests."""
