    //  1. you can only use one member access operator at a time.             //
    //     eg, this will work: gROOT->GetListOfG[TAB]                         //
    //     but this will not:  gROOT->GetListOfGlobals()->Conta[TAB]          //

    //  2. nothing is guaranteed to work on windows or VMS                    //
    //     (for one thing, /bin/env and /etc/passwd are hardcoded)            //

    //  3. CINT shortcut #2 is deliberately not supported.                    //

    //  4. most identifiers (including C++ identifiers, usernames,            //
    //     environment variables, etc)                                        //
    //     are restriceted to this character set: [_a-zA-Z0-9]                //
    //     therefore, you won't be able to complete things like               //
    //                                                                        //

    //          etc                                                           //

    //  5. ~whatever[TAB] always tries to complete a username.                //
    //     use whitespace (~ whatever[TAB]) if you want to complete a global  //
    //     identifier.                                                        //
    //                                                                        //
    //  6. CINT shortcut #3 is not supported when trying to complete          //
    //     the name of a global object.  (it is supported when trying to      //
    //     complete a member of a global object)                              //
    //                                                                        //
    //  7. the list of #pragma's is hardcoded                                 //
    //     (ie not obtained from the interpreter at runtime)                  //
    //     ==> user-defined #pragma's will not be recognized                  //
    //                                                                        //
    //  8. the system include directories are also hardcoded                  //
    //     because i don't know how to get them from the interpreter.         //
    //     fons, maybe they should be #ifdef'd for the different sytems?      //
    //                                                                        //
    //  9. the TabCom.FileIgnore resource is always applied, even if you      //
    //     are not trying to complete a filename.                             //
    //                                                                        //
    // 10. anything in quotes is assumed to be a filename                     //
    //     so (among other things) you can't complete a quoted class name:    //
    //     eg, TClass class1( "TDict[TAB]                                     //
    //     this won't work... looks for a file in pwd starting with TDict     //
    //                                                                        //
    // 11. the prototypes tend to omit the word "const" a lot.                //
    //     this is a problem with ROOT or CINT.                               //
    //                                                                        //
    // 12. when listing ambiguous matches, only one column is used,           //
    //     even if there are many completions.                                //
    //                                                                        //
    // 13. anonymous objects are not currently identified                     //
    //     so, for example,                                                   //
    //                                                                        //
    //          root> printf( TString([TAB                                    //
    //                                                                        //
    //     gives an error message instead of listing TString's constructors.  //
    //     (this could be fixed)                                              //
    //                                                                        //
    // 14. the routine that adds the "appendage" isn't smart enough to know   //
    //     if it's already there:                                             //
    //                                                                        //
    //          root> TCanvas::Update()                                       //
    //              press [TAB] here ^                                        //
    //          root> TCanvas::Update()()                                     //
    //     (this could be fixed)                                              //
    //                                                                        //
    // 15. the appendage is only applied if there is exactly 1 match.         //
    //     eg, this                                                           //
    //                                                                        //
    //          root> G__at[TAB]                                              //

    //                                                                        //
    //     happens instead of this                                            //
    //                                                                        //
    //          root> G__at[TAB]                                              //
