It is possible to do with Ruby but it's very complicated to be 100% exact. Currently I'm working on updating RRB which allows (besides refactoring) some basic form of auto-completion. I have no idea how usable this is going to be. In part because I've never used it, but mainly because I'm still in the very early stages of getting RRB to work with the latest Ripper. My best suggestion would be to just learn the Ruby-API as you go. ri is a very useful utility once you get the hang of it. (We even have an ri-plugin.) That and the standard Ruby-documentation should get you a long way without ever needing auto-completion. As for a planned dates, this project is all voluntary work done in our spare time so we generally don't have a clue as to when something might be release-ready. Sorry but that's just the nature of OSSD.
