The bug was easy to fix (a silly typo), but I am not too happy with
the completion -- using the global namespace is often not too helpful.
But the default is to complete filenames which is almost always
useless.  So I did the namespace-based completion, a little different
than the way you did it:

* it's done in "pread.ss", since "mzrl.ss" is just the interface file

* it does the kind of completion that matches all separate in the
  current token, for example `def-stru' will complete to
  `define-struct', and `q/r' to `quotient/remainder'
