Description
The REPL added in #80 has built-in autocompletion:
However various built-in objects do not take full advantage of this:
- Actor does not have autocompletion for attributes delegated to the ZRect
- Loaders do not have autocompletion for the objects that can be loaded
- more?
We should implement __dir__() on these classes and others to ensure that autocompletion lists all valid attributes.
