[Scummvm-devel] Word completion for AGI games

[Neil Millstone]

Hi,

So is nobody going to say whether I should add this to OSystem or just 
put inside a DS port specific define in the AGI engine?  I think a 
generic word completion interface that could be used by many ports, and 
on engines other than AGI would be more useful, but I'll put it in as a 
custom thing if nobody else is interested.

My interface words better than the predictive text one that's already 
there for the DS version, as there's plenty of screen space for a Qwerty 
keyboard, something that's more familiar/quicker than T9 mobile phone 
text input.
