Module autocompletion

Trait and structs used by prompts to provide autocompletion features.

Autocompleters receive the user input to a given prompt and may return a list of suggestions, selectable by the user as an option to be completed.

When the user presses the autocompletion hotkey (tab by default) the autocompleter receives the current text input and the currently highlighted selection, if any. Then the developer may return a Replacement action where the current user text input is replaced or not by a provided string.

Check the example files to see some usages, recommended are expense_tracker.rs and complex_autocompletion.rs.
