Auto-completion of Unicode names [was why not module name?]

Speaking of tab completion, would anyone be interested in being able to
auto-complete \N{...} unicode character names? I'm considering that as an
enhancement to my tabhistory module.

Python supports \N{...} backslash escapes in Unicode strings, so we can
write things like:

py> print(u"\N{CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER ZE WITH DESCENDER}")
Ҙ


There are currently somewhere in the vicinity of 110 thousand such names.



Any interest?
