And while collecting examples for the README I find the interactive mode
tab completion is now broken. It seems I broke it when fixing the prompt
behaviour when called from a script.
And when fixing that I notice some other odd tab completion behaviour -
seems there are at least two separate bugs in in_line_buffer().
All things that gpio-tools-tests doesn't currently test for, so I
should extend the test coverage as well.

And gpiomon --unquoted aborts as I forgot to cut-and-paste the parser
handler - and forgot to add a test for it too.
So another fix and more tests to add.

I probably wont get that done for a day or two, so you might want to hold
off on merging - or I can always provide patches later.

I also note that interactive mode does not support quoted line names on
the interactive command line yet. Adding that is sure to be entertaining.
Do you want to wait for me to patch that, or add it to the TODO list?

Cheers,
Kent.
