Change tty extended command autocomplete, based loosely on <Someone>'s
patch, to allow you to type autocompleted characters. That is, you can type
characters the autocompleter inserted without invalidating the command.
I haven't looked closely, but at least some other windowport extended
command readers seem to already behave similarly.
I've found myself adding a trailing space to various extend
commands from time to time, and the program fails to recognize then
when that happens. It might be less likely once none of them has
any embedded spaces, but this wouldn't hurt anything if that becomes
the case.

(the following text accompanies the patch at <Someone>'s web page)
add more configurability to the new msg_window option of [..]3.4.0.
It allows the configuration option to take an optional parameter to
specify the style of message history display to use.
allows the following configuration options:
msg_window:s - single message (as was the default in 3.3.0)
msg_window:c - combination; two messages in 'single', then as 'full'
msg_window:f - full window; oldest message first
msg_window:r - full window reversed; newest message first
In the event of no parameter being provided,
the patch is compatible with the current 3.4.0 behaviour:
msg_window = 'full'
!msg_window = 'single'
msg_window can be configured for these options in the
Options menu (Shift-O)
msg_window stores the current window type in the non-persistent
iflags structure, which means that savefile/bones files should be
100% compatible with Vanilla, but at the disadvantage that your
customisations to msg_window will be replaced with your
defaults.nh (or ~/.nethackrc) value every time you restart a saved game.
Credits:
The patch draws inspiration (and code snippets) extensively
from <Someone>'s original msg_window patch, [...] as well as <Someone>'s code for reverse ordering implemented until recently in
Slash'em.
- attempt to determine if tty_wait_synch() is called during the ending
dialogs due to an interrupt, and not re-display the previous message
at the wrong time
- also, "msg_window display anomaly" fix was missing code to still treat ^P
properly while in a prompt
