I don't think so - I think it should be as flexible as possible.

In fact, this already exists somewhere:

>>> import rlcompleter
>>> import readline
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")

I think it's useful for Idle though, because this one isn't really
crossplatform - the readline module need to be compiled in, which isn't
default (and what about non-unices???).
