[RFA] Limit qualified completions

Hi,

If the user attempts to complete symbols in a class or namespace, i.e., "complete break foo::", default_make_symbol_completion_list will return every single known global symbol in the executable.

This simplistic patch (and test case) "fixes" the problem, limiting the matches to the appropriate symbols.

Ok?

Keith

	and classes.
