Research direction

Start with the IDLE component and review autocomplete_unimported_1.patch from the linked issue history, then inspect the current IDLE editor completion entry points. Done means IDLE offers completions for modules that have not been imported, with tests covering the behavior and the existing patch's intended scope.
