i think it would be an improvement if emerge tab-completion matched to package
names first and categories second.

fex. right now the behaviour is

# emerge -Ca gnome-<tab>

gnome-base/   gnome-extra/

for someone looking for packages beginning with "gnome-" that aren't in the
gnome category (eg. x11-themes/gnome-backgrounds) this isn't very helpful.

# emerge -Ca gnome-<tab>
gnome-system-tools   gnome-spell   gnome-python   gnome-foo   gnome-etc

might be more useful.
