I thought I needed to try out the new patch submission procedure.
This is also my first Git adventure - hope I didn't mess up too
badly. :)

    Shell tab completion now works for quoted module and function names

    While quoted atoms in module and function names are not common,
    they are allowed, and sometimes quite useful. In OTP, they are
    commonplace in ORBER, and can also be found in XMERL. Tab completion
    needs to recognize quoted atoms and act accordingly. This patch
    includes changes in edlin:over_word/1. It should be noted that these
    changes also affect the 'kill word', 'forward word' and 'backward word'
    commands in the line editor. The author thinks that the changes are
    for the better. There are also minor changes in edlin_expand.erl -
    mainly in regard to the conversion between atoms and strings.
    Another change is that the list of matches is now sorted, partly
    to simplify testing, but also because it seems sensible to present
    the matches that way. A test suite, edlin_expand_SUITE, has been
    added to the stdlib test suites.


BR,
Ulf W
