You mean, this feature depends on MTD support?  this is not goot.

Also, you should make this feature configurable.  Not everybody may
want to use it or may have the memory available.

Technically - should autocompletion not be prevented for escaped
'$' characters, i. e. hitting TAB after a '\$' sequence should NOT
expand?

Best regards,
