    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Tab completes global function names, but does not complete the names of local
functions currently in scope.

To reproduce this bug, create foo.m containing


function foo
  keyboard
endfunction

function inner_function
endfunction


Type 'foo', and at the prompt type 'inner_f<TAB>'.  Notice that it does not
complete, even though inner_function is in scope.

I have a patch, which I'll submit once I get the patch number.
