nice, could even be useful :-)

I'd be interested in using this idea in my Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Glue, which 
uses a Gtk2::Entry and connects that to user's history (sidenote: how 
could I use Term::Readline which has built-in history?), eval function, 
and objects maintained by Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Glue. I would like to have the 
"press-tab-and-you-get-possible-options" behavior (options would come 
for example from the names of the variables there are, or from the 
methods that are defined for the class of it.

This kind of help-feature is for example in Firefox (typing URLs and 
filling HTML forms). Is it available for Gtk2::Entry somehow?
