That is nice, I got it! Thanks. That sys::completion could be used to
provide list of completions.

How do I prevent the CLISP complainining on redefining the function?

And which function I can use to get the string from the user?
Something similar like (read-line)?

Is maybe (readline:readline-reader ?
