Done in r2897:

http://ipython.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/changeset/2897

(I hope the mechanism for creating new completers based on generic
functions is clear enough from the changeset).

It also corrected a nasty bug in 0.8.2: readline terminates when it
gets the same string twice as completion, and since we had __class__
twice for some reason, completions that came after __class__ never
appeared! Perhaps this is only pyreadline bug though?

In any case, we call 'uniq' on the completion list and voila', we get
all the completions.
