Tom Lane d854118c8d Teach psql's tab completion to consider the entire input string.
Up to now, the tab completion logic has only examined the last few words
of the current input line; "last few" being originally as few as four
words, but lately up to nine words.  Furthermore, it only looked at what
libreadline considers the current line of input, which made it rather
myopic if you split your command across lines.  This was tolerable,
sort of, so long as the match patterns were only designed to consider the
last few words of input; but with the recent addition of HeadMatches()
and Matches() matching rules, we really have to do better if we want
those to behave sanely.

Hence, change the code to break the entire line down into words, and to
include any previous lines in the command buffer along with the active
readline input buffer.

This will be a little bit slower than the previous coding, but some
measurements say that even a query of several thousand characters can be
parsed in a hundred or so microseconds on modern machines; so it's really
not going to be significant for interactive tab completion.  To reduce
the cost some, I arranged to avoid the per-word malloc calls that used
to occur: all the words are now kept in one malloc'd buffer.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
