Excuse me, but is there somebody reading this?  The main
branch and Unicode 2 branch share the same `comint.el',
I think the behavior of comint is same.

Typing a whole word and closing completion window manually
is not as convenient as typing a character and closing
completion window automatically, isn't it?
