Description

It would be great to have autocompletion for this:

cube[VarTAB
->
cube[Variable=

and

cube[Variable="myvTAB
->
cube[Variable="myvariable"]

I had a short search and it doesn't seem to be easy.
The best leverage would be to look into the Base.REPLCompletions module and check how they implement it for dictionaries.

Research direction

Start by studying Julia's Base.REPLCompletions module, especially how it implements completion for dictionaries, then trace how YAXArrays handles cube indexing and dimension selection. Done means completing dimension names after cube[ and variable values after cube[Variable=" with results matching the examples in the issue.
