New description:

 {{{
 I think a nice feature is to make ghci like bash in this
 sense:
 pressing <TAB> complete the identifier at cursor like
 bash complete path and filename, showing a list of
 matching identifier when there are two or more or
 overloaded identifier into loaded modules, like:
 *MyModule> ta<TAB>
 Prelude.tail MyModule.tail
 *MyModule> ta

Comment:

 Done:
 {{{
 Prelude> ta<TAB>
 tail       take       takeWhile  tan        tanh
 Prelude> ta
 }}}
