 1.4.6 Letting Readline Type For You
 -----------------------------------
 
 `complete (<TAB>)'
      Attempt to perform completion on the text before point.  The
      actual completion performed is application-specific.  The default
      is filename completion.
 
 `possible-completions (M-?)'
      List the possible completions of the text before point.
 
 `insert-completions (M-*)'
      Insert all completions of the text before point that would have
      been generated by `possible-completions'.
 
 `menu-complete ()'
      Similar to `complete', but replaces the word to be completed with
      a single match from the list of possible completions.  Repeated
      execution of `menu-complete' steps through the list of possible
      completions, inserting each match in turn.  At the end of the list
      of completions, the bell is rung (subject to the setting of
      `bell-style') and the original text is restored.  An argument of N
      moves N positions forward in the list of matches; a negative
      argument may be used to move backward through the list.  This
      command is intended to be bound to <TAB>, but is unbound by
      default.
 
 `delete-char-or-list ()'
      Deletes the character under the cursor if not at the beginning or
      end of the line (like `delete-char').  If at the end of the line,
      behaves identically to `possible-completions'.  This command is
      unbound by default.
