[issue23441] rlcompleter: tab on empty prefix => insert spaces

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

The CLI is a UI.  We're using readline facilities (ie: "the terminal") to improve it.  And people cut and paste from the interactive terminal, so I think the presence of tab characters is a negative from that perspective as well.
