[racket-dev] DrRacket autocompletion change

I've just pushed a change that will hopefully make DrRacket's
autocompletion more helpful.  It now will suggest results based on the
same fuzzy search that the documentation search uses.  So, if you
enter:

#lang racket
cur-dir

and hit Ctrl-/

You'll get a menu with the following choices:
  current-directory
  current-load-relative-directory
  current-target-directory-getter
  current-target-plt-directory-getter
  current-write-relative-directory

The search method and ranking is still pretty simple.  I'm happy to
take suggestions on how to improve it, especially if there are
particular cases where you don't get the results you'd like.
