Comment(by sadrul):

 Replying to [ticket:10793 patch by mthurman]:
 > This patch fixes the problem with tab completion as outlined in 3329 (a
 defect). We essentially used the code that was already in the function and
 just move things around. Being new, we didn't want to change too much but
 we don't see the need for both temp and nick_partial (even though we kept
 both).

 > Since we can assume that entered has no white space, we solved the
 problem by stripping out spaces from the name we are comparing to. I'm not
 sure if '\t', '\r', '\n' (etc) are valid in names (I assume not) but they
 would still not be matched with this code.

 The assumption that 'entered' has no white space may not always be
 correct. For example, if we have two entries 'M Purple' and 'M Pidgin',
 then there's no way of tab-completing either names with this patch. A
 cleverer algorithm is needed for this.
