implements context-aware tab completion for mirb supporting all readline
variants (GNU readline, libedit, linenoise) with graceful degradation
when no readline library is available.
completion features:
- method names on objects (e.g., "hello".re<Tab> completes to reverse, replace)
- local variables from compiler context
- global variables via Ruby introspection
- constants and class names
- Ruby keywords
architecture:
- core completion engine is library-agnostic
- thin adapters for readline/libedit and linenoise
- context detection based on cursor position analysis
- safe receiver evaluation with exception handling
- proper word break characters so "String.new" works correctly
implementation adds:
- mirb_completion.h: interface definitions and data structures
- mirb_completion.c: complete implementation (~670 lines)
- mirb.c: integration with setup/cleanup calls
