 As suggested by codepython777 on IRC, it would be good to have a way to
 suggest query completions.

 This is probably related to query expansion, but simply turning the query
 so far into a document and using it as the RSet isn't going to help as
 that will only suggest terms already in the query.

 Running the query without the partial term, marking the top N, and
 expanding might work (and mostly just needs a way to tell !QueryParser to
 parse the query string in a slightly different way to give the query to
 run to get expand terms), or perhaps there's a simpler way.

 Marking as 1.3.x for now, though it's probably an API addition so could be
 done during 1.4.x.
