Bug Description
Hello,
I noticed that completion does not always kicks in when it could:
In [1]: hist = 123
In [2]: hist = hi # PROBLEM: <TAB> does not produce any completion, even if %automagic is off
In [1]: wxcv = 123
In [2]: wxcv = wx # <TAB> works and yield wxcv
In [1]: hist = 123
In [2]: hist=hi # <TAB> works and yields hist, just because there is no space!
Since PEP 8 recommends using spaces around "=", it would be great if "hist = hi<TAB>" worked too!
I'd guess that this is because %hist is a command, but this is inconvenient and surprising (especially since "hist" is a nice name for a histogram :).
Using Python 2.6 and Python 2.5, with iPython 0.10.

This is now fixed in trunk:
In [5]: hist = 123
In [6]: hist=hi
%hist %history hist
In [6]: hist = hi
%hist %history hist
Tab completed both with and without the spaces.
