[Bug 546794] Re: Smarter lib* aware autocompletion?

[Anders Kaseorg]

Josh Brown: The behavior of this patch (even with the syntax errors
fixed) is not desired.  That is why it was reverted.  See comments #7
and #10.

[ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:]
Binary package hint: apt

Wouldn't it be nice if when typing

apt-get install clu [press tab]

showed libclutter-* etc...

If the autocomplete was just capable of ignoring this common prefix, it would be easier to find a lot of things

:)
