A tab completion mode for var names was introducted in stata8.
Unfortunately not for command names.
In the case of an ambiguity --i.e. completion may lead to several
different var names, then the tab key does nothing. Displaying a
list of all possible completions, similar to what the sh, bash or
zsh shells do, would be rather useful.
