[Converted from Gnats 953] The interpreter-exec command allows a way to emulate a CLI interface through the MI interpreter. However, to get <TAB> and <TAB><TAB> working in the emulated CLI, we need a way to take the string the user has typed up to the <TAB> character, and get the gdb CLI completer to complete it either to the longest unique match (for <TAB>) or the list of all matches (for <TAB><TAB>). Something like: -interpreter-complete console all? string which returns completion="longest match" if all? is NO, and completions={"first match", "second match", ...} if all? is YES would do the job.
