I tend to do the same, even down to the "arbitrary function name", but
it *is* rather quirky, and there is a hint for an obvious and probably
straightforward-to-implement (I haven't looked at the relevant code)
enhancement in your description: why not have the sequence <name>:<TAB>
do a code:ensure_loaded(<name>) before it (tries to) look up the
function list?

That too.:-)
