The user will have good use of documentation in the classes to know how 
to use this library in his own objects.

The autoCompleterClassFor: implementors I read does not use textGetter 
nor textProvider. What are they supposed to be.

In my dialog view I use a TextModelMorph for the code view.

btw, in AutoCompleter>>computerEntries there is an undefined message.
