function/variable name completion via rlwrap



Hi Camm,

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. In Maxima built w/ GCL,
when I type readt it completes to READTABLE.
Likewise forma completes to FORMAT.
Other strings complete to other symbols in the LISP package.
It doesn't recognize symbols which exist in Maxima
(such as $SAVE and $EXPAND) but not in Lisp.

Well, maybe not, since it wouldn't address readline
capabilities for other Lisp flavors. But thanks for asking.

All the best,
