Hi,  
I’m announcing the initial release of bond, a gem to make custom  
autocompletion easy for irb and readline-like environments. It  
provides a dsl for argument autocompletion of methods as well as  
method autocompletion of objects. It also comes with a drop-in  
enhancement of irb/completion, bond/completion.

You can install with  
gem install cldwalker-bond --source [http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com)  
Or  
gem install bond
