Description
Hi, I wanted to use two completers one after another, but I'm not able to do that. FilesCompleter is my custom completer. After supplying the the file I want to trigger another completer BlockCompleter, but I don't know how to achieve that.
I tried following:
completer = NestedCompleter.from_nested_dict({
'show': {
'file': {
FilesCompleter(): BlockCompleter()
}
},
})
But it gives me an error:
Exception 'FilesCompleter' object has no attribute 'lower'
Also another problem that I face is that for BlockCompleter to work I need result of FilesCompleter, but any of document methods or fields does not contain anything before the cursor position - eg. document.text is empty until i start typing.
What is the best way to achieve what I need?

Research direction
Start with NestedCompleter.from_nested_dict and the Completer/document APIs mentioned in the report. Reproduce the sequence using FilesCompleter followed by BlockCompleter, then determine whether the supported result should be an implementation change or documented composition pattern; done means the first completer's result is available to the second.
