[texworks] SCRIPTING: Autocompletion based on the current file.

[Henrik Skov Midtiby]

Hi Paul (and others)

I'm currently looking at the script once more. Primarily for cleaning
up the code and try to remove a bug where the script enters an
infinite loop.

The code example looks like exactly what I needed. It will be tested
later today.
