Feature #4222: Irb tab completion support for the valid (but rare) obj::m=
ethod invocation syntax
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4222

Author: Abinoam P. Marques Jr.
Status: Open, Priority: Low

class MyC
  def my_method
    true
  end
end

a =3D MyC.new

# This is a valid method invocation syntax (rare, but valid)
a::my_method # =3D> true

But when you type in irb

a::<press tab> =


No tab-completion from irb.

a.<press tab> is working well.

So, I think the small patch bellow could implement this feature.
