Sounds good ! I like it very much :o)

Well, I think that Fernando will add this feature !

But it is possible to use the (recent) hook for matchers to implement yours. 
Have a look here:

    http://www.scipy.org/wikis/featurerequests/IPython

You can add new matchers using the set_custom_completer() method of the __IP 
object.

You need IPython 0.6.13.

PS : I would like to try it; could you send me the code of you matcher ?
