Hi Keith,

Have a look at Sonic Zhang's description of this feature here:

A single TAB should complete the partial symbol if it uniquely matches
a single symbol.  If there are several symbols which match the
prefix the first TAB will add the common portion of the symbol
names.  Its all about not having to type long symbol names.

The second TAB lists the matching symbols.  Yes this part works.
