+// The local array autocompleter. Used when you'd prefer to
+// inject an array of autocompletion options into the page, rather
+// than sending out Ajax queries, which can be quite slow sometimes.
+//
+// The constructor takes four parameters. The first two are, as usual,
+// the id of the monitored textbox, and id of the autocompletion menu.
+// The third is the array you want to autocomplete from, and the fourth
+// is the options block.
+//
+// Extra local autocompletion options:
+// - choices - How many autocompletion choices to offer
+//
+// - partial_search - If false, the autocompleter will match entered
+//                    text only at the beginning of strings in the 
+//                    autocomplete array. Defaults to true, which will
+//                    match text at the beginning of any *word* in the
+//                    strings in the autocomplete array. If you want to
+//                    search anywhere in the string, additionally set
+//                    the option full_search to true (default: off).
+//
+// - full_search - Search anywhere in autocomplete array strings.
+//
+// - partial_chars - How many characters to enter before triggering
+//                   a partial match (unlike min_chars, which defines
+//                   how many characters are required to do any match
+//                   at all). Defaults to 2.
+//
+// - ignore_case - Whether to ignore case when autocompleting.
+//                 Defaults to true.
+//
+// It's possible to pass in a custom function as the 'selector' 
+// option, if you prefer to write your own autocompletion logic.
+// In that case, the other options above will not apply unless
+// you support them.

+// The local array autocompleter. Used when you'd prefer to
+// inject an array of autocompletion options into the page, rather
+// than sending out Ajax queries, which can be quite slow sometimes.
+//
+// The constructor takes four parameters. The first two are, as usual,
+// the id of the monitored textbox, and id of the autocompletion menu.
+// The third is the array you want to autocomplete from, and the fourth
+// is the options block.
+//
+// Extra local autocompletion options:
+// - choices - How many autocompletion choices to offer
+//
+// - partial_search - If false, the autocompleter will match entered
+//                    text only at the beginning of strings in the 
+//                    autocomplete array. Defaults to true, which will
+//                    match text at the beginning of any *word* in the
+//                    strings in the autocomplete array. If you want to
+//                    search anywhere in the string, additionally set
+//                    the option full_search to true (default: off).
+//
+// - full_search - Search anywhere in autocomplete array strings.
+//
+// - partial_chars - How many characters to enter before triggering
+//                   a partial match (unlike min_chars, which defines
+//                   how many characters are required to do any match
+//                   at all). Defaults to 2.
+//
+// - ignore_case - Whether to ignore case when autocompleting.
+//                 Defaults to true.
+//
+// It's possible to pass in a custom function as the 'selector' 
+// option, if you prefer to write your own autocompletion logic.
+// In that case, the other options above will not apply unless
+// you support them.
