Elvish: fish-like autosuggestion

[aeosynth]

elvish has tab-completion, but the feature i miss most from fish is browser style as-you-type autocompletion, where typing a command will show a preview of an autocompletable command. requesting this!

Autosuggestion in fish is backed by history instead of completion, so I am changing the title.

I am for this idea. Fish seems to have a sophiscated strategy for autosuggestion; I think we can start with a simple history match.

ZSH autosuggestions might be another good source of inspiration. It works really well:

Any progress or ETA on this?
It's the one feature i miss in elvish.

Something I am currently missing while demoing Elvish is being able to see autosuggestions for directories as I type paths for cd.
