That sounds like a good way to go. Then you can keep the 
conservative-by-default behavior, but also experiment with some really 
clever/neat auto-complete ideas like those mentioned above, as well as 
auto-completing dictionary keys, keyword arguments, et cetera. Maybe 
even long words like OpenOffice does!

Keep up the great work,
