Thanks for your feedback and support!

In the meantime I've added an OOP wrapper which greatly simplifies the
usage of the history and readline and helps to implement custom
completion.

Please find attached the OOP wrappers and a small example.

I've also used this OOP wrapper for a command line tool which integrates
the TCL OOP wrapper (mentioned in this list on 2011-05-05). The
completion correctly identifies whether it is asked for commands or
variables, and even works inside of the TCL equivalent of backticks. Due
to shortage of time it's still a bit messy, but will be released under
the terms of the GPL too.

Bye
