tab completing matplotlib

[moorepants]

Now that there is %matplotlib magic, I miss being able to tab complete on matplotlib.

In [2]: import matplotlib

In [3]: matplo
%matplotlib  matplotlib   

In [3]: matplot
%matplotlib  matplotlib   

In [3]: matplotl
%matplotlib  matplotlib   

In [3]: matplotli
%matplotlib  matplotlib   

In [3]: matplotlib
%matplotlib  matplotlib   

Should magics try to tab complete if you happen to have a variable in the name space that is the same name as a magic?

Seem legitimate as we have some code to deal with that in notebook at least.

@Carreau I can submit a PR for this, but I see that test_completer:test_magic_completion_order pins down that behavior specifically:

# After the import, there should be two options, ordered like this:
text, matches = c.complete('mat')
nt.assert_equal(matches, ["matplotlib", "%matplotlib"])

[Carreau]

I don't think it is still that much of an issue with prompt-toolkit. We can change the test if we have a better behavior, they are not fixed in stone.

But PR welcome of course.
