Attachment: Check to see if there is a useful _completion before modifying the CLI input line

It appears tip doesn't have this exact problem anymore. However, autocomplete for nonexistent commands (and for params with no hint, etc...) has the annoying property of clearing the CLI input. I think it should act like bash (and most? other shells) and just leave the current input alone if there is no valid completion.

On my local copy of the repo, I just check if CliInputView has something useful in _completion before allowing complete() to change _inputer.value
