</div>both options are problematic. they involve sequentially going through lists at<br>
some point, or else making runners divide up their matches reliably for us<br>
(more complexity in the runers).<br>
<br>
what's so bad about making GUI's detect the kind of match? we already require<br>
that for informational vs exact vs probable.<br>
<br>
the idea of having autocomplete suggestions possible via the matches list says<br>
we don't need to design a separate mechanism.<br>
<br>
the fact that no runners actually provide autocomplete suggestions says that<br>
we don't need to implement it at all right now.<br>
<br>
once we get runners that actually can do something interesting and useful with<br>
autocomplete that can't be done with possible matches, we can then revisit<br>
this. in the meantime we can be comfortable knowing that there is a way to<br>
serve this need that doesn't require changing much or any API.<br>
