Hi
How would it work on Unix? I assume that the command-line program just takes it's input "from the command line", so it doesn't get invoked until after you've finished typing the command...
Unless this is a proposal to create a console version of hoogle, a bit like ghci, which could take advantage of System.Console.Readline.
I do have something like that in the works (hoogli), but its not ready for the world quite yet.
BTW, on Windows XP command line filename completion is enabled - just use the Tab key. On NT4 and W2K you have to tweak the registry to switch it on (and you can choose which key to use, if you don't like Tab).
Yes, I know command line completion works - but only for files, not for anything else, and there is no way to make it work for other things. However, I know that zsh can do funky things like autocompleting ssh paths etc - and I think I remember seeing that there was some way a program could tell zsh what it could autocomplete to - but that is a hazy memory from a while ago.
