Compatibility with tplugin / autoload

[blueyed]

I am testing out tplugin, which allows to lazily load Vim plugins.

From the issue I reported:
Please consider to move the Complete function to autoload/ag.vim as ag#Complete, which would facilitate the use with tplugin.

I would be happy to create a PR for this - just let me know.

Done.

Out of curiosity, does tplugin's lazy loading actually improve startup time for you? I have a fair number of plugins in my rtp (eclim, all my other plugins, + a few others), and I've never noticed any slowdown when opening vim:

$ vim --startuptime /dev/stdout +qall

Yes.
I am currently using NeoBundle though, which has a less sophisticated method of autoloading (it does not setup command wrappers by default etc). Therefore I am experimenting currently with combining tplugin (its TPluginScan mechanism) and NeoBundle.
I have a larger set of plugins probably though.
