AW: [plt-scheme] word completion for module based languages

I see, I didn't make indicies in my manual what should fix my problem.
Thank you.

Ah. Well, from what I can tell, the autocompletion code should be completing
every word that appears in any of the manual's indicies.

Matthew: does that look right to you? (line 2811 of framework/text.ss)

I see that there is a bug with completions that they aren't picking up the
characters before the insertion point to being the completion. I'll look
into that.
